As part of his new tour of the United States, Argentine President Javier Milei participated in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held in Florida.
During the forum's gala dinner, which took place at Mar-a-Lago, the Argentine leader danced on stage to the rhythm of "YMCA" by the Village People, in a scene that quickly went viral on social media.
The event, held at President Donald Trump's residence, brought together leaders of the American conservative movement. Milei took the opportunity to publicly thank the Republican leader for his "invaluable support" in the face of "destabilizing attacks" in Argentina.

During his speech, the head of state reviewed the achievements and challenges of his administration. "We have spent the last two years working to prevent Argentina from falling off the cliff," he stated, to the applause of the audience. In that vein, he called to "strengthen the path we have undertaken" and defended his economic and foreign policy.
Milei also replied to criticism from opposition sectors who accuse him of aligning with the United States. "The socialists in our country accuse us of giving up sovereignty. They understand sovereignty as destroying the national currency and multiplying poverty and misery," he said.
In another part, the president recalled the recent legislative election of October 26, which he described as "historic." "We achieved a 16-point lead over Kirchnerism. But it was also historic because it allowed us to win in the National Congress the necessary seats to continue advancing the most ambitious reform process in our history," he emphasized.

The speech ended with a phrase that summed up his affinity with U.S. President Donald Trump and his political style. "We will follow Trump's example in this beautiful country and make Argentina great again," Milei concluded, to the ovation of the audience.
Upon his arrival in the United States, Milei had highlighted the strategy of U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who stated that the assistance for Argentina was a new "economic Monroe Doctrine" to counter the influence of the Chinese regime. "The United States has openly decided to be the leader of the region and I celebrate it strongly. I think it's brilliant," he said.
