Argentine President Javier Milei has concluded a 36-hour diplomatic and business visit to Washington, D.C. During the trip, Milei received the ‘Hispanic Heritage Leadership and Global Impact Award’ at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, as well as the ‘Global Champion of Free Enterprise’ award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In a speech lasting nearly 20 minutes, Milei expressed explicit support for Donald Trump ahead of U.S. legislative elections, stating it is important for Trump to emerge strengthened. He noted that a Republican victory is crucial for the West and the ‘reconquest of the hemisphere.’ He also extended political commentary to Brazil, labeling President Lula da Silva a ‘communist dictator’ and predicting a victory for the Bolsonaro family, while claiming Jair Bolsonaro is ‘unjustly imprisoned.’ Milei called for Latin American leaders to join the United States in forming a ‘shield against socialism.’ Addressing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, Milei declared a policy of ‘zero tolerance with antisemitism’ and reaffirmed support for Israel. Diplomatically, Milei and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirmed the bilateral alliance, focusing on expanding trade, promoting transparent investment, and enhancing regional security. This cooperation is expected to continue with scheduled visits by U.S. officials Christopher Landau and Juan Pablo Segura to Argentina and Paraguay between October 19 and 26. Alongside his political rhetoric, Milei met with American business leaders to promote investment. He defended his administration's economic policies, claiming they are successfully taming inflation and predicting that Argentina's country risk will fall below 100 points by 2027. However, financial markets showed skepticism as Argentina's country risk index, measured by JP Morgan, rose significantly to levels as high as 648 basis points, coinciding with a decline in sovereign bonds and local stock indices.
