Argentina declines to congratulate Lula, cites 2023 snub; denies Bolsonaro asylum

Argentina's presidential spokesman publicly declined to congratulate Brazil's President Lula on his election victory, citing Lula's failure to greet President Milei in 2023. The spokesman also denied reports of an asylum request from Flávio Bolsonaro, who allegedly attempted to cross into Misiones en route to the US. This marks a notable diplomatic rift between the two major Mercosur partners, with implications for regional trade and political alignment.
