Brazil will seek to maintain good relations with Argentina
December 14 |
Brazil’s Foreign Minister, Mauro Vieira, said Wednesday that for his country’s government it is “essential” to maintain diplomatic relations with Argentina.
The diplomat assured that for Brazil “ideological differences” should not affect the commercial ties between the two nations, referring to the clear radical position held by Javier Milei, the new president of Argentina.
“Regardless of any ideological position, Brazil wants to maintain good relations with Argentina and is willing to work,” said the Brazilian foreign minister about the new government of its main trading partner in Latin America.
In this sense, Vieira affirmed that a summit is planned for January where he will meet with the Argentinean Foreign Minister, Diana Mondino.
“I am sure that on both sides there is awareness that the relationship is essential and cannot be left aside, and I am sure that this will be the case”, the Brazilian minister assured.
It is worth mentioning that Javier Milei, before becoming President of Argentina and in the middle of his political campaign, assured that he would not hold meetings with Brazil until President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva left power, alleging that he cannot be friends with leftist politicians.
Despite Milei’s controversial statement, Chancellor Mondino assured that Argentina will maintain good ties with Brazil, as well as with China, which in the opinion of the new Argentine president is a “communist” nation.

Zelenski urges global action after russian ballistic missile strike
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski called on the international community Thursday to “respond” to Russia’s ballistic missile strike on Ukraine, which he said has heightened the “escalation and brutality” of the conflict.
“The world must react. So far, there has been no strong response,” Zelenski lamented in a social media statement.
“We must act. We must pressure. We must push Russia towards real peace, which is only achievable through strength,” he added.
Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed Thursday that Russia had launched a new type of hypersonic ballistic missile against Ukraine in its “non-nuclear configuration.”

Elon Musk plans sweeping cuts to U.S. bureaucracy and spending
Elon Musk has pledged massive cuts to government programs, subsidies, and bureaucracy in his anticipated role as a “State Efficiency” leader, according to an article published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal.
The billionaire entrepreneur plans to target hundreds of billions of dollars in federal spending, including funds for public broadcasting and Planned Parenthood. Musk called government bureaucracy an “existential threat” to American democracy.
Teaming up with fellow businessman and Trump ally Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk aims to streamline federal regulations and implement significant administrative and cost reductions.
“We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. We will serve as external volunteers, not federal officials or employees,” Musk and Ramaswamy stated in the article.

Putin warns of escalation, suggests strikes on western weapon suppliers
Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that the conflict in Ukraine is taking on the characteristics of a “global war,” warning that Russia might target Western nations supplying Ukraine with weapons used in attacks on Russian territory.
These remarks come after a day of heightened tensions, during which Russia launched a state-of-the-art medium-range missile designed to carry a nuclear warhead. However, this particular missile was loaded with conventional explosives.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the missile strike, calling it the action of a “deranged neighbor” using Ukraine as a “military testing ground.”
Earlier, Ukraine accused Russia of attacking the central-eastern city of Dnipro with a missile exhibiting “all the characteristics” of an intercontinental missile, an unprecedented development in the ongoing conflict.
