After Donald Trump’s victory, Javier Milei once again showed himself close to the Republican and announced that he will now seek a free trade agreement with the United States.
“The elected government feels much more comfortable working with me than with other governments and this has commercial and financial implications,” said the libertarian.
And he warned: “We can move forward on larger trade agreements with the United States in the same way that we are moving forward very strongly with China.”
When journalist Cristina Pérez of Buenos Aires radio Rivadavia asked him if he would pursue a deeper free trade agreement with the United States, he replied bluntly: “Yes, that’s right, you read that perfectly.”
Milei believes he will have Trump’s support to move forward with a new agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Although he said that they did not talk about money “because that goes through other channels”, Milei highlighted: “We are working on a new agreement. If this has a dynamic in the Fund, it is obviously to be expected that the United States government will support us so that we can continue moving forward.”
The president said his phone conversation with Trump was “very pleasant.”
“I said that the world today is a better world because the wokes were defeated, that this was good news for America and Europe. I also said that when I started, I was more alone than Adam on Mother’s Day and he told me that now I was no longer alone”, said Milei.
According to Milei, Trump said that with the two in power they would make “America and Argentina great again”. “Trump said I was his favorite president.”
Milei also stated that the next Trump government will be inspired by the work carried out by the Argentine Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger, whose American counterpart would be Elon Musk.
The telephone communication with the American president-elect lasted around 11 minutes and put an end to several intrigues and speculations about the delay in contact between Milei and Trump.
The government considers that, due to the ideological proximity that unites them and the distance that the American may have from the Brazilian Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Milei could become Trump’s regional reference. In any case, the region is not a priority for the future American government, whose main objectives would be the trade dispute with China and efforts to put an end to the war between Ukraine and Russia.
The friendship between Milei and Musk, with whom the Argentine president has met several times, is the bridge that Milei intends to use to get into Trump’s good graces. Among the government’s objectives is the possibility of obtaining more favorable treatment from the IMF in relation to Argentina, which would facilitate a solution to the problem of exchange rate liberalization.
