The U.S. president praised Javier Milei's administration and called on the people to support his continuity in the upcoming elections
Trump was forceful before the press: "We love them, we'll be there for them. They have a great leader. A very great leader." Later, he warned that United States support for Argentina will depend on the continuation of the current course: "If Milei doesn't win again, and a radical left government returns, we won't be so generous."
The meeting addressed key topics such as a 20 billion dollar swap between the central banks, possible contingent loans from the Exchange Stabilization Fund, and the opening of a free trade agreement. According to the Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, "It's a great opportunity for Argentines."
President Milei, meanwhile, thanked the American support and highlighted Trump's role in the recent peace between Israel and Hamas. "Thank you for understanding the threat of socialism in the 21st century," he stated.
Donald Trump left no room for doubt: his support for Javier Milei is total. Through his network Truth Social, the U.S. president celebrated the meeting held at the White House with the Argentine president and highlighted his leadership: "Excellent meeting today with Javier Milei! He's doing the right thing for his country. I hope the Argentine people understand his excellent work and support him during the upcoming midterm elections so we can continue helping him reach Argentina's unbelievable potential. Javier Milei has my full support. Let's make Argentina great again!"
The message, shared by Milei on his X account with the phrase "Here is Trump's opinion...!!! MAGA. VLLC!", marked a milestone in the bilateral relationship between both countries and a strong political gesture at the international level. It not only confirms the ideological alignment between both leaders but also a shared vision of a world free from state interventionism, populism, and socialism.
Upon his arrival at the White House, after 2:40 p.m., Milei was received by Trump with a handshake and a smile that reflected mutual understanding. Both posed for the media before entering the "cabinet room," where the official meeting took place along with the delegations from both governments. Representing Argentina were Karina Milei, Luis Caputo, Patricia Bullrich, Gerardo Werthein, Santiago Bausilli, and Alec Oxenford.
