Under the temporary presidency of Argentina, in Mercosur, will be held, on the 11th, next week, in Buenos Aires, a meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Block. The presidency of the block is semiannual and rotating.
The Brazilian entourage, led by Chancellor Mauro Vieira, who landes on the eve of the meeting, wants to understand, especially, what are the real interests of President Javier Milei regarding the search for a propagated free trade agreement with the United States and the intention or not of continuity of Argentina in Mercosur. A meeting is not discarded only between Brazilian diplomacy and Argentine Chancellor Gerardo Whertein.
Milei made harsh criticism of the bloc, saying that it is a “prison” that prevents the countries that integrate it from having the freedom to make business agreements with other countries or blocks. At the same time, he keeps his compliments frequent to the United States and Trump, with whom he has met at least three times. Milei defends “economic freedom” and the opening of imports to Argentina, in a contradiction to what Donald Trump has been implementing.
This week, Milei made her second trip to the United States this year. There have been nine trips since he took office at Casa Rosada in December 2023. On Thursday, Milei received a prize at President Trump’s complex in Mar-Lago, Florida. At the time, he said Argentina “will adapt” to what Trump asks. It was the day after the announcement of the World President’s world tariff that also affected Argentina.
The United States is the main market or the main markets for various Argentine products such as wines, meat, sugar, fruits, petroleum derivatives and mining. The United States is Argentina’s second commercial partner after Brazil. Milei is expected to announce a trade agreement with the Trump government, which would have been discussed on Thursday between Argentine chancellor Gerardo Werthein and US Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick.
On the same day Milei was awarded Thursday, the Argentine Senate rejected his two nominations to the Supreme Court of Justice. It was the first time that fact had occurred since the return of democracy in 1983. By 43 votes against, 27 in favor and an abstention was rejected the name of Ariel Lijo. By 51 votes against and 20 in favor of the name of Manuel García-Mansilla. It took two thirds of the votes for the names to be approved for the court.
The result, frustrating for the government, occurred because Kirchnerism, its main opponent, and also its (non -ally) party Mauricio Macri, the Pro, voted against Milei’s claims. The decision of the parliamentarians was fueled by the fact that Milei tried to name them without the approval of Congress, dribbling the opposition with decrees (DNU) that will be in force by the end of the year. With the falling popularity since January, Milei faces domestic challenges as ‘coqueta’ the US intensely.
He believes that this bond will give economic results to the country (not only for supporting the possible new agreement with the IMF, estimated at $ 20 billion). Between industrialists and analysts there are doubts, especially after Argentina has had the same tariff (10%) as other countries in the region and nothing, so far, of privileged treatment by Milei’s relationship with Trump.
