Brazil responded by recalling its ambassador Julio Bitelli from Buenos ~~Aires and~~ Aires, downgrading the Argentine mission to chargé‑d’affaires level, ~~a step described as unprecedented in recent decades.~~ and summoning Argentine ambassador Daniel Raimondi for explanations. Uruguay’s foreign minister Mario Lubetkin reiterated that Uruguay ~~has again refused to~~ will not mediate, warning that the dispute could jeopardise Mercosur’s ongoing trade negotiations with the EU, EFTA and Asian partners.
