Argentina won’t join BRICS as scheduled, says member of Milei’s transition team
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina will not be joining the BRICS bloc of developing economies next year as scheduled, a senior official in President-elect Javier Milei’s team said Thursday.
“We will not join the BRICS,” Diana Mondino, who Milei picked as foreign minister once he is sworn into office on Dec. 10, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
The move appears to be a preview of the drastic shift in foreign policy that will be implemented in Argentina once right-wing populist Milei takes office.
Milei, a libertarian, harshly criticized China while on the campaign trail and threatened to break diplomatic relations with the country ,
saying in an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that “I am not going to do business with any communist.”
