Argentina’s President Milei to meet Trump and Musk next week in the US
Since his election late last year, Milei has sought close ties with the US and, since Tuesday’s US election, has stressed support for Trump
Argentina’s libertarian President Javier Milei will meet US President-elect Donald Trump and tycoon Elon Musk next week in the United States, a government spokesperson said on Thursday.
The meeting with Trump will take place at Mar-a-Lago, the incoming US leader’s private south Florida club, according to the spokesperson.
Since his election late last year, Milei has sought close ties with the United States and, since Tuesday’s US election, has stressed his support for Trump with a fireworks display as well as posts on social media.
The same government source said Milei will also meet billionaire Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO and owner of social media platform X, who is also a major Trump supporter.
A gathering of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is set to take place from November 14 to 16 at Mar-a-Lago.
Meanwhile in neighbouring Brazil, Trump’s electoral victory has injected new energy into the country’s hard right and stirred hopes that former president Jair Bolsonaro can mirror his return to power despite legal obstacles to running for office in 2026.
