President Javier Milei has canceled his trip to the World Cup draw in Washington. The cancellation is significant, as the event was expected to serve as a stage for a high-impact meeting with former U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as a potential photo opportunity with Lionel Messi. The suspension comes amid tensions generated by the 'PDFgate' (the alleged doctored document to sanction Estudiantes) and the DGI's complaint against the finance firm Sur Finanzas, linked to Tapia, for a money laundering scheme. Buenos Aires, Nov 27 (NA) -- President Javier Milei has decided to cancel the trip he had planned to Washington D.C. to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw, scheduled for December 5. The presidential decision reshapes the December agenda, prioritizing the treatment of the 2026 Budget. The surprising suspension is a 'silent response,' the Government told NA amid the growing scandals surrounding the AFA and its president, Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia. According to what Noticias Argentinas agency learned, the decision was communicated by the Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, through a brief and written message: 'The President of the Nation has decided not to make the trip planned to attend the World Cup draw.'
