Argentina and Venezuela Issue Mutual Arrest Warrants

Tensions between Argentina and Venezuela have escalated following the issuance of arrest warrants for each country's president. Venezuela's Supreme Court ordered the preventive detention of Argentine President Javier Milei and other officials for alleged crimes related to the seizure of a Venezuelan-Iranian plane in Buenos Aires, including aggravated robbery and money laundering. In retaliation, an Argentine court has issued an arrest warrant for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his top aide Diosdado Cabello, accusing them of crimes against humanity. The conflict stems from the controversial detention and subsequent handover of the Emtrasur cargo plane to the United States, which both nations claim violated international laws. The diplomatic fallout highlights the ideological divide between Milei's right-wing government and Maduro's socialist regime, further complicating relations. Both countries are now seeking international cooperation to enforce the arrest warrants issued against each other’s leaders.
