Milei Insults Lula Again, Slowing Ambassador's Return

Argentine President Milei again called Brazilian President Lula a "thief" and "corrupt," while also attacking Buenos Aires Province Governor Kicillof as a "communist." Lula's government has stayed silent on the new insults, but Brazil's ambassador is not returning to Argentina for now. The renewed attacks complicate the ambassador's return, according to Brazilian press. Milei also said foreigners should pay for services and left open the possibility of negotiating his 2027 running mate.
