The rise of Donald Trump as the newly elected president of the U.S. has allowed like-minded leaders to step closer to the country in anticipation of a Trump administration. President Javier Milei recently traveled to Trump’s club at Mar-a-Lago, becoming the first leader to meet with the president after his victory at the polls.

AP reports that Milei met Trump at the club before the America First Policy Institute gala, which defines itself as an institution that advances policies “that put the American people first.” While the meeting was private, an anonymous source confirmed that it took place and that Milei also met with investors.

Then, at the gala, Milei praised Trump’s victory and its meaning for the U.S. and the world. As part of a speech offered to the attendees, which included future members of the Trump administration like Vice President J.D. Vance, Mike Waltz, and co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Elon Musk, Milei stated:

Today the world is much better because the winds of freedom blowing are much stronger. A true miracle and a convincing proof that the forces of heaven are on our side.

President-elect Trump answered in kind, praising the style and the actions of his counterpart. “The job you’ve done is incredible. Make Argentina Great Again, you know, MAGA. He’s a MAGA person,” Trump declared.

Local media report that Milei could be seeking approval to establish a wide free trade agreement with the U.S. In a recent interview, Milei assessed that due to Trump’s election, the two countries could “move forward on greater trade agreements with the U.S., in the same way that we are moving forward with China.”

Before, Milei had commented that Elon Musk contacted his government to import the Chainsaw model to the U.S.
