Argentina’s President Javier Milei met former President Donald Trump and gave him a close hug a day after meeting with Biden Administration officials.
On Saturday, Milei and Trump spoke at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) outside of Washington, D.C.
A Trump campaign staffer shared a video of Milei and Trump greeting each other backstage. In it, Milei yelled, “President!” and drew Trump in for a tight hug before they snapped photos.
In a video of their encounter shared on social media, Trump tells Milei, “Make Argentina Great Again.” Milei then uttered his famous phrase, “Long live freedom, damn it!”
After a Trump-inspired campaign that included red “Make Argentina Great Again” hats in reference to the former president’s own “Make America Great Again” movement, Milei was sworn in in December.
At CPAC, he was the final foreign politician to reaffirm Trump’s popular themes about immigration and the perceived danger of socialism.
The Argentinian had met with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken the day before he spoke at CPAC.
A senior Milei official, Marc Stanley, the American ambassador in Buenos Aires, had recommended that Milei skip his speech at CPAC.
Patricia Bullrich, Milei’s security minister, who was also present at the event, claimed that Stanley informed Milei’s office that he felt the conference was “very political” and that it was improper for him to attend.
“It was honorable to come,” Bullrich said. “He comes here as a speaker, to give a general speech, not to talk about the election.”
Milei urged the CPAC audience to reject further economic regulation and to end socialism.
In addition, he referred to the availability of abortion as a “murderous agenda” to reduce the population.
“Do not be led by mermaids singing social justice,” he said in Spanish. “Do not give up your freedom. Fight for your freedom, because if you do not fight, you will be led into misery.”

How did President Milei’s visit to CPAC align with his campaign message and conservative policies in Argentina?
Argentina’s President Javier Milei made headlines recently when he met former President Donald Trump at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) outside of Washington, D.C. The encounter between the two leaders was captured in a video that quickly went viral on social media.
In the video, Milei can be seen yelling “President!” before embracing Trump in a tight hug. The Argentine president then utters his famous phrase, “Long live freedom, damn it!” Trump responds by telling Milei, ”Make Argentina Great Again,” a reference to his own popular campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”
This meeting comes just a day after Milei met with officials from the Biden Administration, demonstrating the president’s willingness to engage with leaders from both political parties. Milei’s visit to CPAC was seen as a reaffirmation of Trump’s popular themes, particularly on immigration and the perceived danger of socialism.
Milei, who was elected in December, ran a Trump-inspired campaign that included red “Make Argentina Great Again” hats. His victory marked a shift to conservative policies in Argentina and a rejection of the previous government’s socialist agenda.
However, Milei’s decision to attend CPAC was not without controversy. The American ambassador in Buenos Aires, Marc Stanley, recommended that Milei skip his speech at the conference, citing concerns that it was too political. Milei’s security minister, Patricia Bullrich, defended his decision to attend, stating that he was there as a speaker and not to discuss the election.
During his speech at CPAC, Milei urged the audience to reject further economic regulation and to fight against socialism. He also criticized the availability of abortion, referring to it as a “murderous agenda” to reduce the population.
The Argentine president’s presence at CPAC highlighted the growing influence of conservative movements not only in the United States but also around the world. It also underscored the importance of international collaboration and dialogue in addressing global challenges such as immigration and socialism.
Milei’s meeting with Trump serves as a reminder of the power of personal connections and the potential for collaboration between leaders from different countries. As political landscapes continue to evolve, it is crucial for leaders to engage with one another, exchange ideas, and work towards common goals for the betterment of their nations and the world.
In conclusion, President Javier Milei’s meeting with former President Donald Trump at CPAC showcased the growing influence of conservative movements and the importance of international collaboration.
