Argentina Rejects BRICS Membership, Confirms Milei's Transition Team
TL;DR Summary
Argentina will not be joining the BRICS bloc of developing economies as scheduled, according to a senior official in President-elect Javier Milei's team. Milei, a right-wing populist and libertarian, had previously criticized China and the leftist government of Brazil. The decision reflects a shift in Argentina's foreign policy under Milei's administration, which aims to prioritize relations with the United States and Israel. The official also downplayed the importance of BRICS, stating that Argentina already has diplomatic and trade relations with most of the member countries. Argentina was set to join the bloc on January 1, 2024.
