Argentine President Javier Milei was one of the few Latin American leaders to unquestionably celebrate the U.S. military intervention that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro on Saturday. In 2024, Venezuela broke ties with Argentina. Five members of the Venezuelan opposition sought refuge in the Argentine embassy in Caracas after General Prosecutor Tarek William Saab ordered their arrest. A second incident took place in late 2024, when the Venezuelan government arrested Argentine military police officer Nahuel Agustín Gallo on charges of espionage. “He must be bursting with that monster face of his, because he’s an ugly guy, too, and stupid,” the Venezuelan leader said.
