The President of Argentina, Javier Milei, had a phone conversation with the elected President of the United States, Donald Trump. According to presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni, Trump described Milei as his "favorite president." Although no details of the call were revealed, the good relationship between the two leaders was highlighted.
The dialogue between Milei and Trump took place before the Argentine president's trip to Florida to participate in the Conservative Political Action Conference. Milei will not attend the Ibero-American Summit in Ecuador due to this visit to the United States. The purpose of the trip is to strengthen the relationship between Argentina and the United States, as well as seek potential trade agreements.
Accompanied by his sister Karina, who holds a position in the presidency, Milei will travel on a private flight to the United States. He will subsequently participate in the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro and then meet with the Prime Minister of Italy in Argentina. This international journey highlights Milei's active agenda on the international stage.
During his stay in the United States, the Argentine president plans to deliver a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where he is expected to share his vision on cooperation between the two countries. Milei has expressed his interest in moving towards a free trade agreement with the United States, without neglecting relations with other powers such as China.
The phone call with Trump has been described as an opportunity to strengthen Argentina's presence in the U.S. market and attract investments. The relationship between Milei and Trump has been categorized as close, which could lay the groundwork for future collaborations in political and economic matters.
