President-elect Trump first world leader to meet with Javier Milei: 'Greatest political comeback in history'
Trump's victory was compared to Milei's experience in Argentina last year.
President-elect Trump met with Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday. Milei, known as "the Lion," has gained notoriety worldwide for his pro-market policies that have slashed Argentine inflation since he took elected office last year. He attended the America First Policy Institute's (AFPI) gala and will stay through the CPAC Investor Summit that ends Saturday. During their meeting, President-elect Trump and President Milei discussed a range of topics, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the need for stronger international cooperation to combat it. Milei also expressed his support for President-elect Trump's efforts to promote economic freedom and reduce government interference in the market.
As Milei exited the AFPI gala on Thursday, he spoke to Clarion, stating, "We will plant the seeds of freedom in the sky." In his speech, Milei praised Trump's victory, declaring it the greatest political comeback in history, despite the opposition of the entire political establishment, even at the cost of his own life.
Milei thanked Elon Musk for his role in boosting his social media site X for President-elect Trump and communication worldwide.
The Argentine president claimed that the recent US elections were similar to his own election last year, with the "party of freedom" celebrating their victory. Milei, a Trump-like figure in South America, is known for marketing black hats and using a chainsaw at political rallies.
Milei expressed his excitement to share his love for freedom with the new US administration and is confident that they will work together to restore it to its rightful place. Trump thanked Milei for his congratulations and praised his leadership after his speech.
Javier, I want to congratulate you on your job for Argentina. Your speech was great, but your accomplishments are even more impressive. Make Argentina great again. You know what MAGA stands for. He's a MAGA person, and he's actually doing it.
I must say, you've excelled in a short amount of time. It's a privilege to have you here.
