President Javier Milei is set to travel to the United States for the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York. The 55-year-old Argentine leader will address the General Assembly on Wednesday and meet with various officials and community representatives throughout his visit.
Milei, accompanied by Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, Economy Minister Luis Caputo, and his sister Karina Milei, will arrive in New York on Tuesday at John F. Kennedy International Airport. His first engagement will be at Yeshiva Darchei Torah, where he will speak and receive an award from the Orthodox Jewish community.
During his stay, Milei is expected to raise Argentina's claim over the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) during his meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He will then meet Mexican economist Roberto Salinas and US-based economist Xavier Sala i Martin.
On Wednesday, Milei will make his main address at the UN General Assembly, an event that may focus heavily on the sovereignty dispute with the United Kingdom. Later that day, he will participate in a conference organized by the Fundación Federalismo y Libertad on Western values, economic freedom, and strategic security.
In the evening, Milei will meet with business leaders and members of the Americas Society/Council of the Americas before ending his day with a meeting with Rabbi Simon Jacobson. On Thursday, he will address The Economic Club of New York. The President is set to depart New York for Buenos Aires on Friday morning.
