Javier Milei, the exalted right-wing populist president of Argentina, gave Donald Trump an effusive hug this Saturday a day after meeting with officials from President Joe Biden's government in Buenos Aires. Trump and Milei were the keynote speakers to close the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) outside Washington.
In his backstage greeting, captured on video posted by a member of Trump's campaign team, Milei yelled "President!" and pulled Trump into a hug. Milei took office in December after launching a campaign inspired by Trump, wearing caps that read “Make Argentina Great Again,” in a nod to the former president’s ‘Make America Great Again’ movement.
