Milei Sets Davos Address to Champion Western Values, Back Trump on Venezuela

His message will explicitly align Argentina with Trump's intervention in Venezuela.

Overview

  • The Argentine president is finalizing a World Economic Forum speech for Jan. 19–23 that he says will argue for policy guided by ethical principles rather than political utilitarianism.
  • He plans to emphasize private property, capitalism, free trade, family and tradition, and to highlight rights to life, liberty and property, drawing on ideas he credits to economist Jesús Huerta de Soto.
  • Argentina has publicly defended Trump's capture of Nicolás Maduro and the designation of Delcy Rodríguez as Venezuela's interim authority in venues such as the UN and the OAS.
  • Milei is scheduled to depart around Jan. 18 with a delegation that includes Chancellor Pablo Quirno and Karina Milei, with Economy Minister Luis Caputo possible, and his program includes an official stop in Zurich to meet the Swiss government.
  • He is advancing plans to convene a regional right‑of‑center summit and is weighing a broader European itinerary after Davos, while confirming attendance at José Antonio Kast's March 11 inauguration in Chile.
