Argentina’s Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein has resigned and will leave his post on Monday following Sunday's midterm elections, according to a source at the Casa Rosada. President Javier Milei had previously planned to reshuffle his cabinet after the election to pursue "second generation reforms." Rumors of Werthein's departure began after alleged mistakes by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding Argentina’s upcoming legislative mid-term elections. The vote is crucial as it will determine the makeup of Congress for the remaining two years of Milei’s term and serves as a referendum on his administration. Additionally, Security Minister Patricia Bullrich and Defense Minister Luis Petri are also expected to leave their positions after the election to run for senator and deputy respectively.
