President Javier Milei postponed his trip to the United States until Friday.
He will depart after receiving State Department Secretary Antony Blinken.
In the Government House they indicated that
they do not want to snub the Democratic administration
of Joseph Biden.
The President was originally scheduled to travel this Wednesday to participate in the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, where he could also meet with Republican candidate and former US president Donald Trump.
The American tycoon had contacted Milei after the runoff.
"
Your victory is having a global impact
," he told her then. In January she greeted him again via Twitter, their favorite network.
Now in the Casa Rosada they question the
meeting with the Republican leader
.
“
If possible, he crosses paths with Trump;
but, no
”, they relativize, although they do not rule it out.
The Argentine president himself had ruled out a meeting with the former American candidate in an interview this weekend, although officials with an office at Balcarce 50 left the door open.
“
On the last day (of the event) President Donald Trump speaks at 11 in the morning
and I speak at 3 in the afternoon.
Trump exposes and goes to North Carolina, because he has an election.
And since I go by airline, I arrive at a time very close to what he is explaining.
And since I have to go to the hotel, change, I can't make it, there's no time.
There are people who are enthusiastic about that, but I would tell them that I am not there,” he expressed.
Strictly speaking, Trump will travel to South Carolina to closely follow his party's local primaries in which he seeks to leave
Nikky Haley
, former governor of the State, out of competition.
The former president is the main favorite, according to almost all polls.
On his American journey, Milei will be accompanied by
Patricia Bullrich
, who is already in Washington, and by the Secretary General of the Presidency Karina Milei.
The Argentine president will arrive for the last day of the traditional conservative meeting where the Executive of El Salvador
Nayib Bukele
will also be present , who has already expressed his willingness to collaborate with Argentina in matters of Security and Justice.
Spaniard Santiago Abascal, from Vox, will also be in the game;
Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of the former Brazilian president and British Prime Minister Liz Truss for 50 days, the first libertarian head of government, although Milei reiterates that he is the first to occupy that place.
The closing will be in charge of Steve Bannon, Trump's former advisor.
This Wednesday the Minister of Security spoke at the conservative meeting.
She will also have her own management agenda, she will meet with officials from the DEA, Homeland Security, the FBI, attend a Security seminar at the OAS and sign training agreements at two academies.
There will be no management meetings with Salvadoran authorities after the minister spoke out in favor of “adapting the Bukele model.”
Milei distributes gestures to the US as the world's leading power moves towards the November elections.
This Wednesday he received Republican Senator Marco Rubio
in his office
, who before arriving at the Casa Rosada accompanied by Ambassador Marc Stanley met with the Minister of Economy Luis Caputo.
Looking ahead to Blinken's visit on Friday, the Executive is enthusiastic about a hand from the White House in terms of financing via the IMF.
Rubio, who sounds like Trump's running mate, took a mug with the legend "there is no money" signed by the Argentine president.
“I'm not going to sell it on e-bay,” joked the legislator who in the past classified Cristina Kirchner as a “
convicted kleptocrat
.”
This Thursday, on the eve of his reception with Blinken, Milei will receive the number 2 of the IMF,
Gita Gopinath
, who will meet with the Minister of Economy beforehand.
In La Rosada they do not rule out financial aid from the multilateral organization in which the United States has 16 percent of the votes on the board and more influence.
