President Javier Milei urges Mercosur partners to push for greater trade openness within the bloc as he opened a summit in Buenos Aires. Delivering a typically forceful opening speech, the La Libertad Avanza leader warned that his government would pursue that goal unilaterally if necessary, implying – not for the first time – that an exit from the bloc could be on the cards. Argentina’s government has repeatedly expressed its desire to move forward with a free-trade agreement with the United States and views Mercosur as an obstacle to achieving that goal.
