Milei and Sánchez star in a cold greeting after calling him "unpresentable dictator"

The meeting between Argentine President Javier Milei and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez was marked by tension, following Milei's previous insults. Their brief greeting occurred during the XXX Ibero-American Summit in Madrid, with King Felipe VI present as a mediator. This encounter is significant as it highlights the strained relations between Argentina and Spain, exacerbated by personal attacks and a diplomatic crisis earlier this year. Milei's absence from the summit's opening ceremony, where he chose to meet with Vox leader Santiago Abascal instead, further illustrates the political divide. The summit aims to revitalize participation among leaders, contrasting with the absence of key leftist figures from Latin America.
