Javier Milei and Donald Trump Forge Alliance at Buenos Aires CPAC Conference

Argentina's president and the former U.S. leader rally conservatives against socialism and call for a global cultural shift.

Argentine President Javier Milei hosted the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Buenos Aires, emphasizing a fight against socialism and leftist ideologies.
Milei hailed Donald Trump's recent U.S. presidential victory as a sign of renewed global freedom and called for a cultural battle in media, universities, and politics.
Prominent right-wing figures, including Lara Trump, Santiago Abascal, and Ben Shapiro, attended the event, with Steve Bannon and Jair Bolsonaro contributing via video.
Milei's administration, marked by radical economic reforms, has reduced inflation but led to significant economic hardship, with over 50% of Argentinians now living in poverty.
Despite political compromises at home, Milei positioned himself as an uncompromising outsider at the conference, rejecting dialogue and consensus in favor of breaking with traditional politics.
