Milei traveled to the United States to reaffirm his economic plan before investors

The President speaks at the Milken Institute in Los Angeles and holds meetings with Visa and Chevron executives

In the final stretch before the elections in Argentina,  President Javier Milei is developing a key agenda in the United States with the goal of strengthening international confidence in his economic program.

The head of state arrived in Los Angeles accompanied by Economy Minister Luis Caputo to participate in a meeting with business leaders at the Milken Institute, one of the most influential platforms for global investments.

The visit is part of theofficial strategy to consolidate external support for the path of fiscal adjustment and structural reforms, which are central pillars of the economic plan.

Milei will speak before a group of fifty executives invited by Michael Milken, a major investor with direct access to the White House. According to official sources, the presentation  will seek to convey that  "the adjustment plan will not undergo changes" and that the administration is maintaining a clear and steady course.

The presidential delegation on this trip is small. Karina Milei, Secretary General of the Presidency,  and Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein remained in Buenos Aires. In Los Angeles, Milei was received by Alec Oxenford, Argentina's ambassador to the United States. Usually, the President's international trips include Karina Milei and the foreign minister, but this time, both remained in the country.

Meanwhile, alongside the presentation at the Milken Institute,  the head of state will hold bilateral meetings with leaders of strategic companies. One of them will be with Mark Nelson, vice president of Chevron, a company with a strong presence  in the energy development of Vaca Muerta.

Nelson also serves as executive vice president of Oil, Products, and Gas, with direct influence over the allocation of global investments. Energy is one of the sectors in which the government seeks to strengthen the inflow of capital.

Another important meeting will be with Ryan McInerney, CEO of Visa, who is closely monitoring Argentina's economic performance and the impact on the financial system. McInerney was CEO of JP Morgan and has extensive experience in international markets.

Before returning to the country, Milei will also meet with Andy Kleinman, an Argentine businessman based in the United States, recognized in the entertainment industry.

The President had planned to continue his trip to Las Vegas to meet with investors from the tourism sector and attend a theater show, but that part of the tour was suspended. Advised by his inner circle, he decided to shorten the trip to prioritize the economic agenda just 48 hours before the elections in Buenos Aires.

Milei will spend the night in Los Angeles and return to Argentina in the early hours of Saturday, in a return that sends clear signals to the market: reaffirming his government's commitment to fiscal stability and attracting investments.
