Argentina president to follow Trump in skipping G20 Summit: spokesperson

Argentina president to follow Trump in skipping G20 Summit: spokesperson

Executive Summary

Argentinian President Javier Milei will skip the G20 summit in South Africa later this month, as confirmed by his spokesperson, mirroring U.S. President Donald Trump's decision not to attend. Milei, a right-wing leader aligned diplomatically with the United States and Trump, did not specify reasons for his absence, while Trump cited debunked claims of white Afrikaners being systematically killed in South Africa. Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno will represent Argentina at the gathering of the world's top 20 economies. This absence highlights Milei's synchronization with U.S. foreign policy stances and potential implications for Argentina's global engagements.
