BUENOS AIRES, Argentina—Argentina will not be joining the BRICS bloc of developing economies next year as scheduled, a senior official in President-elect Javier Milei’s team said Thursday.

“We will not join the BRICS,” Diana Mondino, who Mr. Milei picked as foreign minister once he is sworn into office on Dec. 10, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
