Argentina Scraps BRICS Entry: Milei Administration Declares "We Will Not Join"

Argentina will not be joining the BRICS bloc of developing economies, a top aide to President Javier Milei has confirmed. This decision reverses the planned entry into the expanding BRICS club of nations, marking a significant shift in Argentina\'s foreign policy under the new administration.

“We will not join the BRICS,” Argentina\'s incoming Foreign Minister Diana Mondino stated, solidifying President-elect Javier Milei’s stance. This announcement follows through on pledges made throughout his campaign, where he was explicit in stating his intention of Argentina shying away from BRICS membership if elected.

Argentine President-elect Javier Milei’s foreign minister-designee has formally announced the withdrawal. Diana Mondino initially signaled this direction in November, stating the country would not join the BRICS grouping of developing nations despite the previous invitation. The decision was further solidified in a letter from Milei to leaders of Brazil and other BRICS nations on Friday, confirming that the plans to join, initiated by the previous administration, were being withdrawn.

The news, reported by sources including the Associated Press from BUENOS AIRES, Bloomberg, and other international outlets, underscores a notable foreign policy departure for Argentina. Javier Milei, often described as a self-proclaimed anarcho-capitalist, has consistently signaled his reluctance towards the China-led bloc. This withdrawal represents a commitment to his stated policy objectives and a potential reshaping of Argentina\'s global alliances.
