Argentine President Javier Milei will meet Donald Trump

Argentine President Javier Milei will meet Donald Trump

Next week, Argentine President Javier Milei will meet with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's resort in Palm Beach, Florida. This information was confirmed by an Argentine government spokesperson in a statement to Reuters.

Milei, who is 54 years old and aligns himself with ultraliberal ideologies, took office in December 2023. His political position is closely aligned with that of the United States and he openly supported Trump throughout his campaign. After Trump's recent victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, Milei publicly congratulated him via a video message in English, saying: “Congratulations on your tremendous election victory. Now make America great again. You know you can count on Argentina. I wish you success and blessings.

During his next trip, Milei will also meet Elon Musk, executive chairman of Tesla and SpaceX. Their previous discussion in late September in New York was significant, focusing on Argentina's ongoing deregulatory efforts and the nation's path to economic recovery.

Trump characterized the Milei administration as grappling with economic challenges, including tax policy and government restructuring. At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held in Washington last February, Trump praised Milei, calling him a “great gentleman” and aligning him with the “Make Argentina Great Again” movement. Trump expressed gratitude for Milei's presence, stating: “Thank you, Milei. It's a great honor to have you here.”

The CPAC event, which will take place at Mar-a-Lago from November 14 to 16, is expected to be attended by several leaders, including El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, Brazilian congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro and Spanish politician Santiago Abascal, leader of the VOX party. . Milei's participation in this meeting is highly anticipated.
