SpainArgentina and Brazil are facing their worst diplomatic crisis in decades after Argentine President Javier Milei insulted Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva during an event in São Paulo. Milei called Lula a 'thief' and 'prisoner,' and also referred to a Brazilian Supreme Court judge as 'bareheaded garbage.' In response, Brazil recalled its ambassador to Argentina and summoned Argentina’s ambassador to Brasília. This marks the first such diplomatic action since both countries transitioned to democracy in the 1980s.

The two nations, as major economies and historical political allies within the Mercosur trade bloc, now face significant strain in their bilateral relations.
