The harmony between Javier Milei and Donald Trump is no longer just a matter of ideological affinity, but a geopolitical fact of great significance. According to a recent article published by The New York Times and signed by journalist Jack Nicas, the Argentine leader has become the favorite president of the U.S. head of state, reinforcing an alliance that provides strategic benefits for Argentina on the international stage.
Since his inauguration, Milei has maintained a close relationship with Trump, marked by repeated visits to the United States and meetings with both the Republican magnate and Elon Musk. This alignment has not only strengthened the bilateral ties but has also allowed Argentina to position itself as a key partner in the new global reordering driven by the conservative force.
Trump's admiration for Milei is explicit. "I love him because he loves Trump," The New York Times recalled a phrase from the American president. In the same vein, Gerardo Werthein, Argentine Foreign Minister, confirmed: "Every time we meet with President Trump, he always says: 'I like this guy. He's MAGA like me: Make Argentina Great Again.'"
Milei's recognition in U.S. conservative circles has been resounding. His firm stance against bureaucratic international organizations, his criticism of authoritarian regimes, and his defense of capitalism have resonated strongly in Washington. In particular, Argentine foreign policy under Milei has reflected an alignment with Trump's stances, including his position on Cuba and his recent abstention in the UN vote regarding Russia.
