Argentine President Milei to Skip Meeting with Brazilian President Lula

Argentine President Javier Milei is embroiled in a feud with Brazilian President Lula da Silva, calling him a 'communist' and 'corrupt,' opting to meet former President Jair Bolsonaro during his upcoming visit to Brazil. Milei's decision to skip the Mercosur summit where he would have encountered Lula in favor of attending CPAC Brazil, aligning with Bolsonaro, showcases the ideological differences between the leaders. Despite criticisms and clashes, Milei emphasizes that scheduling issues and not ideological gaps are the reason for not meeting Lula, as he continues to engage in controversial interactions with other political figures like Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Bolivian President Luis Arce.
