The Argentine president maintained that the conflict will cause a transitory economic impact and that then there will be a global political reordering that could benefit Argentina.
“It is to be expected that the war will have a short reach,” said the president, when analyzing the effects of the crisis on international markets.
In his geopolitical analysis, the Argentine president considered that the conflict could affect China's international positioning
.According to him, the fall or weakening of some of Beijing's allies could cause the Asian country to become more isolated on the global stage.
Argentine President Javier Milei said that the war linked to Iran does not respond to a dispute over energy resources but to a geopolitical strategy promoted by the United States.
In an interview with FM Now (97.7), the president considered that interpreting the conflict as a fight for oil is “conceptually very poor and wrong”.
As he explained, the American perspective aims to consolidate its political and strategic influence in the American continent and combat international terrorism.
“The United States' approach is exclusively geopolitical,” said the head of state when analyzing the escalation of war in the Middle East.
During the interview, the Argentine president also defended the position of the US president, Donald Trump, against the
Iranian nuclear program.According to Milei, the Iranian regime was making progress in enriching uranium and was close to obtaining military nuclear capacity.
“If it weren't for President Trump's courage, Iran would have achieved military power with the risk that implies for the world
,” he said.The Argentine president also accused the Iranian regime of financing international terrorism and noted that its influence in Latin America is manifested through alliances with governments such as those of Cuba and Venezuela.
Milei estimated that the war in the Middle East could last relatively short
.In his opinion, the current scenario will generate temporary turbulence in the world economy, but will then cause a global political reordering.
“China is going to be more isolated because many of its partners will fall, who are bad partners and dirty the name of China,” said the president.
For Milei, this process will help to redefine international alliances and to reorganize the balance of power at the global level.
In relation to the economic consequences of the conflict, Milei noted that the global crisis could generate opportunities for Argentina
.The president assured that the country faces this context from a stronger position thanks to the fiscal balance achieved by his government.
“Argentina is standing in the right place in history for the first time in 80 years,” he said.
In addition, he stressed that the increase in the prices of commodities — such as oil and major grains — could improve the terms of trade for the country.
“Argentina is going to have an improvement in terms of trade because oil is rising, including soybeans, corn and sunflowers,” he explained.
According to the president, this scenario could boost exports and cushion the impact of the international crisis.
