Antony Blinken, Secretary of State of the United States, arrived in Buenos Aires on Friday. He met with Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, to "deepen ties" and "increase trade" Hours later Milei traveled to Washington to participate in the Conservative Action Conference starring Donald Trump.

Neither Blinken nor the Argentine government made public reference to the coincidence until a question came from an American correspondent. Milei has not appeared in public after the meeting, but told the press gathered at Casa Rosada that “Argentina has decided to return to the side of the West”
