ARGENTINA FOREIGN AFFAIRS: Differences remain, despite welcome to new Brazil government
Few countries in Latin America have given Brazil’s interim government led by President Michel Temer such a warm welcome as Argentina. Interestingly, both Susanna Malcorra, Argentina’s foreign minister, and José Serra, Malcorra’s new Brazilian counterpart, began their periods in office with a promise to strip ideology out of their countries’ respective foreign policies; a promise that can broadly be read as limiting support for left-leaning governments in the region and pivoting towards the US. With centre-right administrations now in power in both Buenos Aires and Brasília, the two governments clearly share similar ideas as to how to run an economy, but national self-interest will limit the extent of their cooperation.
