Argentina’s President Mauricio Macri will not meet with Jair Bolsonaro until January 16, two weeks after he takes office as Brazil’s president. Macri is on holidays with his family in Patagônia, preparing to face a difficult year, as he will have to bring fiscal deficit to zero, reduce his country’s annual inflation of nearly 45 percent, and attempt re-election.
