It is also reported that Trump met privately with Milei, in the first foreign meeting since his victory in last week’s election.

Associated Press reported:
“The meeting was confirmed by a person who insisted on anonymity to discuss an event that hadn’t yet been announced publicly. The person said the meeting went well and said Milei also met with investors.
A short time later, Milei, a self-described ‘anarcho-capitalist’ and frequent recipient of Trump praise, addressed the America First Policy Institute gala at Mar-a-Lago. He slammed left-wing ideologies and saluted Elon Musk, the owner of X, saying his social media site is helping to ‘save humanity’.”

This has been the greatest political comeback in history, defying the entire political establishment, even at the risk of his own life.
Thanks to this, the world is a much better place today.”

As Milei made this good impression in Florida, other news suggested he may be about to join Trump in leaving the infamous Paris Accords on ‘Global Warming’.
Financial Times reported:
“Argentina said on Thursday it would “re-evaluate” its role in global climate talks after walking out of the COP29 summit, fueling concerns that the South American country could become the first to follow Donald Trump’s threatened exit from the landmark Paris agreement.”
During the campaign, Trump said he would withdraw the US from the Paris climate accord upon his return to the White House, just like he did during his first term.
“Argentina’s libertarian President Javier Milei withdrew the delegation of negotiators his country had sent to the UN climate summit in Baku on Wednesday, a day after speaking to Trump by phone.
Milei’s spokesperson told a press briefing on Thursday: ‘The [withdrawal of the COP29 delegation] will allow the new foreign minister to re-evaluate the situation, reflect on our position. It’s part of the measures that the foreign minister is starting to take in his new role’.”
