Fri Nov 15 17:06:31 UTC 2024: ## Trump Hosts Argentine President Milei in First Post-Election Meeting
**Palm Beach, FL** – President-elect Donald Trump met with Argentine President Javier Milei at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Thursday, marking the first official meeting with a foreign leader since his 2024 election victory. The meeting, which took place during a gala event hosted by the America First Policy Institute, highlighted the strong bond between the two populist leaders.
President Milei, known for his drastic economic reforms and hardline stance on government spending, lauded Trump’s political comeback, calling it “the greatest political comeback in history.” He praised Trump for defying the “political establishment,” a sentiment echoed by the President-elect’s strong support for Milei’s own agenda of significant government cuts and fiscal reform.
The meeting underscores the shared ideological ground between the two leaders. Trump has previously predicted that Milei would “turn your country around and truly make Argentina great again.” This prediction, along with Milei’s early February meeting with Trump at CPAC, further solidified their relationship.
Adding to the high-profile gathering was the presence of Elon Musk, who posed for photos with both Trump and Milei. Musk, recently appointed to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency under the Trump administration, has also cultivated a relationship with Milei, with the Argentine president recently seeking Musk’s support for tech investments in Argentina.
Milei’s visit to Mar-a-Lago marks a significant early step in Trump’s second term, signaling a potential shift in US foreign policy towards closer ties with like-minded populist leaders.
