After President Javier Milei confirmed a trip to Brazil at the end of July, the regime of dictator Lula da Silvaopenly attacked and insulted the Argentine leader on social media.
The Secretary General of the Brazilian Presidency, Guilherme Boulos, assaulted Milei after it was revealed that he would participate in a political event in São Paulo in support of Flavio Bolsonaro, the presidential candidate of the right-wing opposition in that country. Through the social network X, the official launched a criticism filled with disparagement.
“GREAT NEWS! Javier Milei announced today that he will come to Brazil to participate in Flavio Bolsonaro's campaign. He is the most rejected president in Latin America, who raised the workday to 12 hours a day and wants to legalize human organ trafficking. He is going to take votes away from Bolsonarinho. What does this idiot think he has to teach the Brazilian people?”, Boulos stated on Friday.

The statements came on the same day that Milei provided details of an intense international agenda that he will develop in the coming weeks, with visits to various countries in the region.
The President linked these trips to his foreign policy strategy, aimed at strengthening economic ties, boosting trade, and attracting investments to Argentina.
In this context, Milei confirmed that on July 25 he will travel to Brazil to participate in the event where, as he indicated, Flavio Bolsonaro will be formally promoted as presidential candidate. The presence of the Argentine leader at this event was the trigger for the reaction within the Brazilian regime.

Milei's International Agenda
During an interview with radio Now 97.9, the head of state defended the purpose of his international tours and highlighted their impact. “Argentina should have three times the trade it currently has,” he stated. Then, referring to the results of his foreign policy, he assured: “They are working quite well.”
After his stop in Brazil, Milei will continue with a regional agenda that includes his return to the country to participate in the inauguration of the exhibition at La Rural. Subsequently, on July 28, he will travel to Peru to attend the inauguration of Keiko Fujimori.
The itinerary will continue in August with a visit to Colombia, where he will accompany the elected president Abelardo de la Espriella. Additionally, the president will take advantage of his time in the region to meet with the president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, with whom, he indicated, he has pending agreements to sign.
