The impact of the US and Israel’s war against Iran has not only had a strong impact on the economy of the Middle East, its effects also have an impact on a global scale. In this scenario, and with some , the president of Argentina, Javier Milei, has been forced to address the sharp rise in inflation, during his speech at a conference by the US Chamber of Commerce in Argentina. Because he says it “repulses” him.
Within the framework of the AmCham Summit 2026 forum, the Argentine president referred to the inflationary rise last March, of 3.4%. It is not a fact to be taken lightly, since the Argentine economy is only seven tenths away – 9.4% – from reaching the maximum level planned for the entire year, which the ultra-liberal Government itself set at 10.1%. With this letter of introduction, and with seven and a half months left until the end of the financial year, Milei has assured that .
“We would have a lot of very good things to talk about today, but since I am Milei and I hate the way of doing things in traditional politics, and since I hate inflation, and since I didn’t like the data and it disgusts me, I’m going to talk about inflation,” the anarcho-capitalist politician and leader of La Libertad Avanza (LLA) began by pointing out, ending by referring to the fact that they remain “convinced that inflation will go down in the future.”
Milei blames inflation even on an alleged “attempt by politics to generate a coup d’état” and promises more “orthodoxy” and “Judeo-Christian values”
The Argentine president has relieved his Government of any responsibility for bad economic data. But he has offered a list of factors that, according to him, explain the increase in inflation. He has blamed this situation on an alleged “attempt by politics to generate a coup d’état”, but also on the “seasonality” of a March in which the school year resumes. At the center he also places the consequences of the US and Israel’s war against Iran – by the way, the same one in which he positioned himself with the attacking party, ensuring that he -.
He has also stressed that the situation with oil and natural gas has especially affected, especially in “how that affected transportation, and also the impact on meat.” Of course, Milei sticks out his chest, assuring that “if we take the core inflation and take out the meat effect, it is the same as last month, at 2.5%.” If you don’t buy meat, of course. However, he has asked for “patience” and promised not to change the script of the chainsaw: “We are not going to go against economic theory or empirical evidence, nor are we going to violate moral values when designing economic policy.”
“Morals as a state policy say that we are not going to deviate from Judeo-Christian values”

Once again, Javier Milei has prophesied that there will be a radical economic change, since “inflation is going to collapse and the economy is going to resume the strong growth path that we had before the political attack”, while promising that “we are not going to give up one bit in monetary policy, in continuing to deregulate” or that “we are going to continue opening the economy” and “embrace orthodoxy.”
And it was at that moment when he introduced the idea that his economic policy responds to certain ethical values in which he has even mixed the religious sphere. “Our policy is fair, it is the most important thing of all. It has to do with our moral values,” he stated, indicating that “morality as a State policy says that we are not going to depart from Judeo-Christian values.”
