In Washington, Gerardo Werthein’s name was caught up in an internal storm after an episode that sparked discomfort in the Argentine delegation: during Milei’s meeting with Trump, the president confused the midterm election with a presidential election for the second time.
The seemingly minor setback led to criticism of the Argentine ambassador’s lack of coordination and exposed tensions within the Government itself.
Santiago Caputo’s troll entourage took advantage of the episode to erode Werthein on social networks and position its own operator in Washington. Through Barry Bennett, Caputo’s circle seeks to influence messages and negotiations with the Republican administration, disputing the traditional role of Chancellor Werthein.
In parallel, in the digital official networks related to the Casa Rosada, posts are circulating that highlight the poor performance of the chancellor and praise the business profile of the ambassador to the United States, Alec Oxenford, to raise the specter of a possible replacement.
