Milei Uses Miami Speech and CPAC Stage to Court U.S. Allies and Investment

His U.S. swing is designed to lock in conservative backing ahead of a December reform push.

Overview

  • At the American Business Forum in Miami, Javier Milei cast Argentina’s October 26 vote as a mandate for capitalism and previewed labor, tax and penal changes he plans to advance from December.
  • He introduced the phrase “riesgo kuka” to describe the market impact he attributes to kirchnerismo and opened by criticizing New York mayor‑elect Zohran Mamdani, arguing political risk raises financing costs.
  • Milei urged companies to invest, saying there were investment announcements exceeding $100 billion over the last year with more than $50 billion pending approval, figures he presented without independent confirmation in the reports.
  • He thanked President Donald Trump for a fourfold expansion of Argentina’s beef export quota and mirrored Trump’s style with a viral CPAC entrance at Mar‑a‑Lago, dancing to “YMCA.”
  • After events in Florida, he arrived in New York for a Council of the Americas session with investors as he seeks to channel his U.S. outreach into capital inflows.
