Overview
- Peter Lamelas presented his letters of credence to President Javier Milei at Casa Rosada after submitting copies to Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno the previous day.
- The U.S. Embassy said Lamelas reaffirmed Washington’s commitment to deepen cooperation based on shared values and interests.
- Milei departs Wednesday to speak at the America Business Forum in Miami at 15:45, then heads to New York for investor meetings and is expected to attend Rodrigo Paz Pereira’s inauguration in Bolivia before returning.
- Organizers considered an informal Milei–Trump meeting around the forum, but it was ruled out because their schedules did not align.
- Lamelas, a Cuban-born physician-entrepreneur and Trump donor, previously drew criticism in Argentina for Senate-hearing remarks on countering Chinese influence and on Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
