Donald Trump Praised President Javier Milei at Cpac United States 2025

During his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in the United States, President Donald Trump gave a strong endorsement to Argentine President Javier Milei, highlighting his work in the economic recovery of Argentina and his alignment with the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement.

"Here is a friend from Argentina, you did a great job," Trump expressed as he publicly acknowledged Milei among the attendees.

In an effusive tone, he continued with praise for the libertarian leader's management: "He's a MAGA guy, he's making Argentina great again. Argentina is beautiful, but what inflation it had! We're proud of you, it's an honor to have you here."

Trump's support for Milei is no coincidence. Since his arrival at the Casa Rosada, the Argentine president has promoted an economic model based on reducing public spending, market deregulation, and the elimination of the fiscal deficit, principles that align with the policies promoted by Trump in his second term in the United States.

Trump's mention of the inflation Argentina faced reflects one of the greatest challenges Milei had to confront since his inauguration in December 2023.

The recognition from the U.S. president not only reinforces Milei's international image but also positions him as a right-wing and liberalism reference worldwide.

His presence at CPAC, one of the most important right-wing thought events globally, confirms his notable relevance on the international stage and his closeness with leaders seeking to implement similar policies in their own countries.

Trump's endorsement could have repercussions on the bilateral relationship between Argentina and the United States. The alignment between both administrations could open new opportunities to strengthen economic and commercial cooperation.

The meeting between Milei and Trump

After the speeches, it is very likely that Javier Milei will meet with Donald Trump. Although the meeting doesn't yet have a defined schedule or established protocol format, Trump is expected to close the CPAC deliberations at 6:00 PM (Argentina time).

The meeting would have an open agenda and would be marked by the expectation of a political gesture from the U.S. president.

Argentina seeks the White House's support to negotiate with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and, at the same time, to promote a free trade agreement between the two nations. On both strategic fronts, Trump has already expressed his willingness to favor Argentina.
