Argentina’s Javier Milei selects Jewish ambassador to replace foreign minister he fired
Werthein will lead a ‘transformation in our country’s foreign policy,’ according to a statement from Milei’s office
A Jewish veterinarian from an influential business dynasty has been named Argentina’s foreign minister at a time when President Javier Milei has prioritized ties with the United States and Israel.
Gerardo Werthein replaced Diana Mondino, whom Milei fired after Argentina voted in the United Nations to condemn the U.S. embargo on Cuba.
The United States and Israel — which Milei, elected last year, has defined as Argentina’s main allies, in a shift for Argentina — were the only two votes opposing the non-binding resolution.
