Argentina’s Milei becomes the first foreign leader to visit Trump post-election victory- The Week

[ad_1]

Argentine President Javier Milei became the first international leader to visit the United States President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club on Thursday, during the post-election victory celebration.

Milei also delivered a speech at the America First Policy Institute gala at Mar-a-Lago. His address included criticism of leftist ideologies and praise for X owner Elon Musk's contribution to "save humanity" through his social media platform.

Milei, a self-described "anarcho-capitalist", also criticised the political establishment arguing against what he described as unfair taxation systems that enforced "the redistribution of wealth at gunpoint."

While congratulating Trump on winning the election, Milei declared, “The winds of freedom are blowing stronger today,” and referred to Trump's victory as “proof that the forces of heaven are on our side.”

Trump thanked Milei for his compliments. “The job you've done is incredible,” Trump said, adding that “You know, MAGA, make Argentina great again.” With a round of applause, Trump declared the Argentine President a MAGA person.

Trump wrote encouraging comments on X shortly after Milei's victory: “You will turn your country around and truly Make Argentina Great Again!”

When the two first met in February at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Milei rushed up to Trump with wide-eyed excitement, yelling “President!” and then embracing him.

Milei attended the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Investor Summit on Friday as well.

Argentinian media earlier reported that Milei would be seeking a free trade agreement with the United States once Trump took office.

CPAC claims to be the biggest annual gathering of conservatives in the US and describes itself as the oldest conservative grassroots organisation in the country.
