Donald Trump, the president-elect, held a meeting on Thursday at his Mar-a-Lago club with Argentine President Javier Milei, marking the first foreign leader to meet with Trump since his recent election victory. The meeting, although not publicly announced, was confirmed by a source who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The source mentioned that the meeting was productive, and Milei also engaged with investors during his visit.
Shortly after the meeting, Milei, a self-proclaimed 'anarcho-capitalist' and a recipient of Trump's admiration, delivered a speech at the America First Policy Institute gala at Mar-a-Lago. In his address, Milei criticized left-wing ideologies and commended Elon Musk, the owner of X, for his social media platform's role in 'saving humanity.'
