What we can confirm

Multiple reputable outlets report that on Sunday at a rally in São Paulo launching Flávio Bolsonaro’s presidential campaign, Argentine President Javier Milei referred to Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as a “thief” and a “convict,” albeit without naming him explicitly.[1][2] The event was in Brazil, and these remarks prompted Brazil to recall its ambassador to Argentina over what it described as Milei’s “insults” toward Lula.[1][2]
