He expressed a desire for Argentina to establish a free trade agreement with the U.S. and emphasized the need for U.S. support in IMF negotiations. Milei viewed Trump as an ally against the political elite and advocated for significant economic reforms in Argentina.
During a recent meeting with Donald Trump at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Argentine President Javier Milei expressed support for Trump’s controversial plans regarding reciprocal tariffs. He criticized the existing political establishment, aligning with Trump’s view that they possess a “God complex.” Trump plans to implement tariffs starting April 2, matching import fees imposed by foreign countries on U.S. goods.
Milei’s endorsement of Trump’s trade policy reflects a strategic alignment between their administrations. His ambition for Argentina to secure a free trade deal with the U.S. emphasizes Argentina’s desire for deeper economic ties. Milei’s call for a ‘second independence’ highlights his government’s commitment to economic reform and free trade, which could shape Argentina’s relations with the U.S. moving forward.
