The government is not concerned about the Peronist unity gestures and maintains that Javier Milei is competing against himself.

In Argentina, the national government has stated it remains unconcerned by recent unity gestures from the Peronism movement, maintaining its stance that President Javier Milei is effectively competing against himself as the country approaches elections less than a year away. Meanwhile, the administration is managing a shrinking legislative calendar and ongoing negotiations with political allies, with discussions surrounding electoral reform and the future of the PASO primaries expected to be addressed in October.

Concurrently, in the Dominican Republic, political tensions have emerged surrounding international trade negotiations. Opposition Fuerza del Pueblo party president Leonel Fernández publicly asserted that the government has lost all moral authority to negotiate the conditions of the DR-CAFTA free trade agreement with the United States regarding rice. In response, domestic rice sector representatives have voiced support for the repeal of decree 693-24 concerning tariff treatments under the trade treaty while awaiting further renegotiations.
