The Chilean Government of President Gabriel Boric Font sent a protest note through diplomatic channels to Argentina after Economy Minister Luis Toto Caputo dubbed the leftwing leader a “Communist” who was sinking his country. The bilateral relationship has been cold since Javier Milei assumed the Presidency of Argentina. Both countries were locked in a crisis following statements by Argentina’s Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, on the alleged presence of the Lebanese Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah in Chile, which was eventually corroborated by Washington. Caputo also targeted Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s Brazil for its left-leaning politics.
