Toward the end of 2025, the United States published its National Security Strategy, where the concept of the Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine was established. This guideline proposes restricting the actions of extraterritorial powers in the Americas, reaffirming U.S. leadership in the region.
In parallel, the new U.S. Defense Doctrine prioritizes the Western Hemisphere and establishes deterrence mechanisms against China. To this was recently added a global meeting on critical minerals led by Washington, aimed at containing Beijing's influence over strategic inputs for international security and the global economy.
With the goal of consolidating a regional bloc to confront the Chinese regime in Latin America, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, called a right-wing summit that will be held next March 7 at the Doral hotel in Miami.
The initiative, driven directly by the White House, seeks to articulate a coordinated response to the advance of the Chinese Communist Party over the continent's natural resources, food production, and main trade routes.
At the multilateral meeting, Javier Milei (Argentina), Santiago Peña (Paraguay), Rodrigo Paz (Bolivia), Nayib Bukele (El Salvador), Daniel Noboa (Ecuador), and Tito Asfura (Honduras) were invited through different diplomatic channels. All of them maintain a clear ideological alignment with Trump and appear as key strategic partners in the region.

In this scenario, Javier Milei is positioning himself as the Latin American leader closest to Trump and, at the same time, as one of the world leaders with the best political and personal relationships with the U.S. president. The affinity between both heads of state is not only ideological but also strategic, consolidating Milei as the main regional reference of the new geopolitical framework.
The summit of right-wing presidents in Miami will seek to dismantle the plan designed by the communist dictator Xi Jinping to consolidate Chinese control over critical sectors of Latin America. This call is part of a series of decisions adopted by the Republican administration to reinforce its presence in the hemisphere.

After that summit, Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay signed agreements with the State Department to distance themselves from China's ambitions regarding critical minerals. In return, the three countries will receive preferential treatment in future investments.
Trump's strategic offensive also included the executive order titled "Adjusting Imports of Processed Critical Minerals and Their Derivative Products into the United States". In that document, international cooperation is upheld in order to strengthen U.S. mining security, given that the domestic industry depends completely on imports of 12 critical minerals that China controls in a monopolistic manner.
To complete this framework, Trump announced the creation of a strategic reserve called Project Vault. The initiative will combine almost 1.7 billion dollars in private financing with a 10 billion dollar loan from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM Bank). Latin American allies will be privileged in the allocation of these resources.
The U.S. strategy is to collaborate with, support, and defend its regional partners if they align their policies toward the Chinese regime. On that board, Milei is emerging as Trump's firmest and closest ally in Latin America and the world.
