Milei returns to Washington to strengthen ties with Trump’s administration
On his fifth trip to the United States this year, the Argentine president will receive the Global Champion of Free Enterprise award and speak to the US Chamber of Commerce
President Javier Milei arrived in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday for a two-day trip that includes meetings with business leaders, a speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and several award ceremonies. This marks Milei's 19th visit to the United States since assuming office, with five of these trips occurring this year. Many of his visits have focused on right-wing events and participation, rather than solely on official meetings.
He departed Buenos Aires on Tuesday night and touched down in the U.S. capital at 8:30 a.m. local time. Later that evening, Milei is set to meet with Argentine-American tech entrepreneur Andy Kleinman, president of Delphi Interactive, who invites Milei to address the inaugural Hispanic Heritage Gala as the guest of honor. The gala, organized by Latino Wall Street, will also feature former Brazilian lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and brother of presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro.
U.S. officials, right-wing leaders, and political commentators will attend the event. Upon his return to Argentina on Thursday night, Milei will deliver a speech titled "The Argentine Case: The Challenge of Economic Growth After Decades of Populism" at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and receive the "Global Champion of Free Enterprise" award.
