At the conclusion of the service, one of the most emotional and symbolic moments of the day occurred. During his walk back to the Casa Rosada, President Javier Milei, accompanied by Karina Milei, interacted closely with the members of the Cavalry Grenadier Regiment. Upon reaching the fifth grenadier, in a gesture of deep connection with the roots of the homeland, the national leader not only greeted the soldier but also enthusiastically sang the March of San Lorenzo with him, while the crowd celebrated the resurgence of national pride.
Finally, the Head of State paid tribute to the Liberator at the Mausoleum of General José de San Martín, closing a day where Argentina reaffirmed its independence, its faith, and above all, its privileged place in the free world alongside its most powerful allies.
In a gesture that reaffirms an unprecedented political alignment between Buenos Aires and Washington, the government of the United States sent a strong message of support to the Argentine people on the occasion of the 210th anniversary of their independence. The statement, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, not only followed the usual protocol but also defined the new strategic importance of Argentina under the leadership of Javier Milei.
In Rubio's own words: “Under the leadership of President Javier Milei, Argentina has become an indispensable partner in promoting prosperity, security, and stability throughout our hemisphere”.
This institutional declaration elevates the nation's status to levels of regional influence not seen in decades, highlighting that “Argentina's firm and principled leadership in defending freedom and opposing tyranny sets a powerful example” for the rest of the American nations.
The alliance between the governments of Trump and Milei is based on concrete objectives and a shared vision of security. The U.S. statement emphasized the commitment to expand collaboration in critical sectors such as critical minerals, civil nuclear energy, trade, and investment.
Furthermore, Marco Rubio stressed that both nations are united in facing the threats of narcoterrorism, transnational crime, and authoritarian regimes that undermine freedom in the region. This international support aligns perfectly with the letter sent by Javier Milei on July 4, titled “Make America Great Again”, where the Argentine leader reaffirmed his commitment to the model of freedom expressed by the Trump administration.
On the local front, the celebration of July 9, 2026 was a demonstration of patriotic fervor and republican order. After leading a historic vigil in Tucumán —where the signing of the Pact of May was commemorated alongside allied governors— President Javier Milei returned to Buenos Aires to lead the traditional Tedeum at the Metropolitan Cathedral.
The religious ceremony, officiated by Archbishop Jorge García Cuerva, was attended by the top officials of the Government, demonstrating an unbreakable institutional cohesion. Among the attendees were:
The Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei.
