Javier Milei on the YPF ruling: “We had to come and fix the shit out of Kicillof's useless and incompetent”

President Javier Milei celebrated a key ruling in the United States that favors Argentina in the trial for the expropriation of YPF.

At the same time, he harshly targeted Axel Kicillof and Kirchnerism, whom he blamed for the economic and legal disaster the country was facing.

A historic ruling that avoids paying $18 billion

The New York Court of Appeals overturned the trial conviction handed down by Judge Loretta Preska

.

This means that Argentina will not have to pay the nearly 18 billion dollars that were at stake.

Milei defined it as:

• “A historic ruling”

• “The greatest legal achievement in national history”

and stressed that the result was less than 15% likely to occur

Milei against Kicillof: very harsh criticism of Kirchnerism During an official ceremony, the

President was direct.

“We had to come and fix the shit out of Kicillof's useless, imbecile and incompetent,” he said.

He had invested about 15 million euros and had already raised more than $300 million by selling parts of the litigation.

Now, after the ruling, their strategy is in question.

A turning point for Argentina The

YPF case was the country's greatest external judicial risk

The House's decision changes the scenario completely.

Milei capitalizes on the ruling and marks a contrast with the past. The

.

The narrative is clear: order, defense of the State and an end to ideological decisions that cost billions.

The decision led to the largest trial against Argentina abroad.

U.S. support and international support

The Donald Trump administration, through the Department of Justice, had supported Argentina's position in the litigation

This was key to the development of the case and the final outcome.

A legal team that put up the fight Minister Federico Sturzenegger also welcomed
