The director of the prestigious financial media
The Wall Street Journal
, Emma Tucker, referred to the interview she did with President
Javier Milei
and gave details of the feelings she had when interviewing the Argentine president, whom she defined as "populist
.
"
Tucker said that Milei's speech is very well received by organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and also by those who operate on Wall Street.
"For Wall Street and the International Monetary Fund, Milei is saying interesting things. His very strong defense of the free market today
is something of an anomaly
. So, Wall Street and the Fund love it,
it's what they want to hear
," highlighted the British journalist who is in charge of the emblematic New York media.
In any case, Tucker warned that the unknown is "when" international organizations or businessmen "will support Argentina with
real investments
," and he repeated: "Words cost nothing, but
now what Argentina needs is action."
".
In statements to Radio con Vos, the journalist also compared Milei to Donald Trump, the former president of the United States who wants to return to the White House, and defined the libertarian as "populist."
"
Both are populists
, they have experience on television, hair is very important, they both use social networks to spread their messages, but
President Milei's economic philosophy is very different
," Tucker analyzed before pointing out that, unlike the Argentine, Trump "is a protectionist."
The director of The Wall Street Journal also told what they told her in New York before traveling to Argentina to interview Milei.
"When she said she was going to Argentina to interview the new president, non-Argentines told me two things.
I hope he doesn't use his chainsaw and second, they were talking about hair
," she said.
For the journalist,
"the hair" on Milei "is political
," and she also compared it to that aspect on figures like Trump himself or Boris Johnson.
The view of the President changes, according to Tucker, when he talks to "people from Argentina or friends from Latin America," who "are more interested in what he is going to do with the Argentine economy."
“The interview I did with him would be more interesting in six months when we have
evidence or signs that the plan is working
,” he assessed.
