The President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has cancelled a visit to Santa Catarina as his Argentine counterpart is expected to meet his former political rival, Jair Bolsonaro. The conflict between Lula and Javier Milei, the right-wing economist, has escalated after Milei refused to apologize for calling Lula corrupt and a dinosaur. The lack of communication between the two leaders is concerning for diplomats and businessmen, as it could potentially harm bilateral relations and impact the future of Mercosur, the South American trade bloc. The public dispute highlights the political divide and potential challenges in working together towards a common goal in the region.
