Overview
- President Javier Milei closed a 36‑hour visit to Washington on Thursday with an embassy ceremony tied to Argentina's temporary presidency of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance where he promised “tolerancia cero” for antisemitism.
- At the embassy event Milei held a private meeting with U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and discussed bilateral ties and energy opportunities in Argentina.
- Earlier in Washington Milei addressed about 200 businesspeople at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, received a free‑market award, and publicly reiterated political support for President Donald Trump.
- The White House relationship advanced during the visit: Milei spoke by phone with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the State Department announced that senior envoys, including Christopher Landau and Juan Pablo Segura, will visit Argentina and Paraguay to push infrastructure, energy and investment projects.
- Milei has returned to Argentina and will attend the Argentina Oil & Gas Patagonia summit in Neuquén before traveling to Madrid, with the visit sequence aimed at converting political alignment with the Trump administration into concrete U.S. investment and energy cooperation.
