A New, Pragmatic Javier Milei Invites Socialist Lula to His Inauguration – Brazil Is Argentina’s Biggest Trade Partner – The Catch: Bolsonaro Is Also Invited!
Argentine President-elect Javier Milei keeps surprising his critics, having adopted a very pragmatic modus operandi in his first movements.
Milei seems to have left his campaign histrionics behind like old clothes, and while he remains unwavering in his most revolutionary promises – such as the dismantling of the Argentine Central Bank – he seems to have decided to do so without needlessly antagonizing foreign leaders.
A good example is Brazil.
Brazil is Argentina’s biggest trade partner. However, President Lula da Silva and his socialist party were all-in for Sergio Massa and the Peronists, with Lula even sending a team of election marketing and operations experts to help.
