24

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has informed Argentina’s President-elect, Javier Milei, of his intentions to visit Buenos Aires, as confirmed by Milei’s office. However, no specific date for Trump’s visit to the South American country has been provided. The inauguration of Javier Milei, a right-wing populist who has expressed his admiration for Trump, is scheduled for December 10.

In a statement released by Milei’s office, it was mentioned that “The president-elect received a call last night from the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, who congratulated him and pointed out his triumph by a wide margin in last Sunday’s election had a great impact on a global scale.”

According to local journalist Luis Majul, it was Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who played a facilitating role in establishing contact between Milei and the leading contender for the GOP nomination, Donald Trump.

Trump had already celebrated Milei’s victory with a social media post earlier, where he expressed his pride and confidence in Milei’s ability to bring positive change to Argentina. He stated, “I am very proud of you. You will turn your country around and truly make Argentina great again.”

Javier Milei has often drawn comparisons to Donald Trump, and in a previous interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, he commended Trump’s efforts against socialism, emphasizing that the battle is against socialism and statist ideologies.

Interestingly, Milei’s conversation with Trump occurred shortly after a conversation with President Joe Biden. The White House reported that during their conversation, Biden congratulated Milei and discussed various aspects of the strong relationship between the United States and Argentina, including economic issues, regional and multilateral cooperation, and shared priorities such as advocating for human rights, addressing food insecurity, and investing in clean energy.
