Argentine president is expected to meet with the Republican tycoon this week
During a recent conversation, referred to the Argentine president, as his “favorite president”. This statement reinforces the admiration that both leaders have shown for each other on previous occasions. Milei is scheduled to meet with Trump this week during the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), taking place in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. The first interaction between Milei and Trump took place in February this year, in Maryland. On the occasion, the Argentine president praised Trump, calling him “a great president” and expressed his desire for him to return to the presidency of the United States. The Argentine government celebrated Trump’s victory, ensuring that the country would be at his side unconditionally.
Milei has plans to attend Trump’s inauguration in January and seeks to establish herself as an important interlocutor in Latin America. However, he faces significant diplomatic challenges in the region. Recently, the Argentine president signed agreements with Nayib Bukele, president of El Salvador, which may indicate an attempt to strengthen ties in the region. Despite the good relations that Milei hopes to cultivate with the new US administration, it is still unclear how Trump will be able to assist Argentina on critical issues, such as the country’s debt with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
