The United States Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, praised Argentine President Javier Milei on Monday for his economic measures and his security policy. She also commented on the Visa Waiver Program, which would allow Argentine citizens to travel to the U.S. for tourism or business without needing to apply for a visa.
During her visit to Campo de Mayo, where she was accompanied by the Minister of Homeland Security, Patricia Bullrich, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security spoke with Spanish journalist and owner of La Derecha Diario, Javier Negre, and praised the Argentine president: “I value his support for President Trump's policies, his economic policies along with his focus on security and strengthening borders, addressing immigration issues,” she stated.
“The minister (Patricia Bullrich) has been very focused on strengthening borders, making sure to address immigration issues, and President Milei has definitely empowered her to do the job she needs to do,” Kristi Noem added.
This explicit support for the Argentine president and his government from a key figure in Trump's cabinet reinforces the alignment of the Argentine government with the current Republican administration in Washington. The ideological affinity between Noem and Milei became evident both in economic matters and in issues of sovereignty and security.
