Fri Nov 15 14:58:45 UTC 2024: ## Trump Welcomes Argentine President Milei to Mar-a-Lago, Embracing “MAGA” Philosophy
**Palm Beach, FL** – In a move that underscores the growing influence of right-wing populism, President-elect Donald Trump hosted Argentine President Javier Milei at his Mar-a-Lago club on Thursday. The meeting, the first with a foreign leader since Trump’s election win, was confirmed by sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Milei, a self-proclaimed “anarcho-capitalist” who has openly admired Trump, addressed the America First Policy Institute gala at Mar-a-Lago. He spoke both in English and Spanish, denouncing left-wing ideologies and praising Elon Musk for his efforts to “save humanity” through his social media platform, X.
Milei, known for his eccentric personality and outspoken criticism of Argentina’s “political caste,” advocated for slashing public spending and dismantling government ministries. He lauded Trump’s victory, declaring that “the winds of freedom are blowing much stronger” and that Trump’s win is “proof positive that the forces of heaven are on our side.”
In turn, Trump praised Milei’s “incredible” work for Argentina, declaring him a “MAGA person” and urging him to “Make Argentina Great Again.” The two leaders previously met at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in February, where Milei expressed his admiration for Trump with a hug and a shout of “president!”
This meeting underscores the growing global appeal of Trump’s populist message, as Milei’s election victory in Argentina and his subsequent embrace of Trump’s ideology signify a shift in the political landscape. The shared vision of economic freedom and a rejection of traditional left-wing policies has resonated with both leaders and their supporters, creating a new international alliance fueled by “Make America Great Again” ideals.
