Today, US President-elect Trump held a grand banquet at Mar-a-Lago, attended by his nominated cabinet members and celebrities at home and abroad. In addition, Argentine President Milai unexpectedly showed up at Mar-a-Lago before all the leaders. This was the first foreign leader that Trump met after the election, which attracted the attention of the media.
As we all know, Milley is an extremely liberal political figure, like a combination of Trump, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, and former British Johnson. Since being elected as the president of Argentina, Milley has promoted a series of anti-establishment reform plans and claimed to "make Argentina great again", which has attracted considerable attention in the international political arena.
Trump is Milley’s political idol, and the two have quite a personal relationship. Trump congratulated Milley on social media last year for his victory, saying he would "make Argentina great again." After Trump's successful election this year, Milley also announced their cooperation on social media with the accompanying text "Make America Great Again."
Before the dinner at Mar-a-Lago, Trump had an informal secret meeting with Milley, who also attended Elon Musk. According to sources quoted by the Associated Press, the meeting went smoothly and Milley also met with many American investors.
After the meeting, Argentine presidential spokesman Manuel Adoni posted a photo on social media. From left to right, they are Argentine Foreign Minister Geraldo Votin, Musk, Millais, and Trump. Trump and Milley's sister, Karina Milley.
Milley was invited to deliver a speech at the dinner, congratulating Trump on his landslide victory and saying, "This is the greatest political comeback in history, challenging the entire political system, even risking their lives."
In addition, Milley also had praise for Musk, saying that social media played an important role in the election, allowing "the silent majority to speak out."
Regarding Milley's almost disgusting praise, Trump also responded with a few words, calling him a "maga faction" who had a great performance in Argentina.
Although Trump only mentioned Milley in a few words, the South American "maga" was indescribably useful. He frequently reposted and shared different versions of Trump's speech videos on social media. Looks like a fanboy.
I don’t know whether Trump’s praise of Milley is sincere or polite, but Argentina’s economic situation does not lie. Based on data disclosed by multiple foreign media, it can be seen that since Milais took office, Argentina's poverty rate has soared from 42% to 53% today, and the extreme poverty rate has exceeded 18%. This kind of poor governance performance cannot be said to be "great".
Therefore, Milley’s visit to Trump during this trip is definitely not a simple congratulation, but a request for something important. In terms of economic policy, Milley and Trump are not the same type of people. The former is a believer in liberalism, while the latter is an extreme trade protectionist. However, this does not prevent Milley from receiving assistance from Trump.
As of now, Argentina is still the largest debtor country to the International Monetary Fund, with arrears of up to US$44 billion. The Milai government urgently needs billions of dollars in cash to help it lift strict currency and capital controls.
An unnamed official from the Milley administration revealed that Trump’s victory will speed up Argentina’s negotiations with the International Monetary Fund. During Trump’s first term, the International Monetary Fund provided a US$56 billion loan to Argentina, and Trump was rumored to be the driving force behind it.
In addition to financial needs, Milai also hopes to use his good personal relationship with Trump to promote the signing of a free trade agreement between Argentina and the United States. With Republicans already in control of both houses of Congress, it is not impossible that Trump will control a super government, if done correctly.
But Trump is a shrewd businessman after all. As the saying goes, in business, it is impossible for the North and South "maga" to meet only to talk about friendship and not business. If Milley wants to get something from Trump, he may have to pay a high price.
