Javier Milei was present in the front row at the decoration ceremony for the recently murdered Charlie Kirk.

President Javier Milei was one of the protagonists of the emotional ceremony held at the White House, where Donald Trump posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and a leading figure of the new American right. During the event, the American president paused his speech to highlight the presence of the Argentine head of state: "We have the president of Argentina. He wanted to be here, he's become a superstar, and he's doing magnificent things. He's a MAGA person."

The recognition of Kirk —murdered a month ago during an event in Utah— took place on the day he would have turned 32 years old. Trump also declared October 14 as "National Day in Remembrance of Charlie Kirk," in tribute to the "martyr of freedom" who inspired a generation of young conservatives. The activist's widow, Erika Kirk, received the award visibly moved and thanked the president "for honoring my husband in such a deep and meaningful way."

In his speech, Trump praised Kirk as "a fearless warrior for freedom, a beloved leader who inspired the next generation like no one else, an American patriot of the deepest conviction." He also announced the revocation of visas for six foreigners, including Latin American citizens, for publicly celebrating the activist's murder.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom, established in 1963, is the highest civilian honor in the United States. With the award to Charlie Kirk, Trump inaugurated the list of honorees of his second term, reaffirming his administration's commitment to the values of God, country, and freedom.
