Argentine President Javier Milei hails US Independence, urges a continent‑wide ‘Great America’

On July 4, Argentine President Javier Milei posted a message commemorating the United States’ 250th Independence Day. He praised the founding principle that “all men are equal before God and possess natural unalienable rights to life, liberty and property,” calling it the basis of America’s prosperity and a beacon of freedom.

Milei contrasted this model with communism, labeling it “the absolute opposite” of the values he champions. He linked the same liberal democratic ideals to Argentina’s own foundation, asserting that anyone who rejects them “cannot be called a true patriot.” The president concluded by invoking his slogan “hacer a toda América grande otra vez” (“make all of America great again”), urging the spread of these principles from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.

The message, shared on social media, signals Milei’s ideological alignment with the United States and his ambition to promote similar libertarian values across the Latin‑American continent.
