President Javier Milei met this morning in his office at Casa Rosada with the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr., in a meeting also attended by the Minister of Health, Mario Lugones.
This meeting, which follows the meeting between Lugones and Kennedy Jr. held yesterday, aimed to strengthen cooperation between the governments of Javier Milei and Donald Trump in health matters.
This alignment became evident on Monday, when the Argentine Minister of Health and the U.S. Secretary of Health jointly announced a series of measures that include the deregulation of the Argentine health system, confirmation of the country's withdrawal from the WHO, reinforcement of controls on vaccines, and a review of the use of health-damaging additives in food products.
On his official X account, Kennedy Jr. commented on the meeting: "I had a wonderful meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei about the mutual withdrawal of our nations from the WHO and the creation of an alternative international health system based on reference science and free from totalitarian impulses, corruption, and political control."
