Overview
- This week Milei attended the Escudo de las Américas summit in New York where President Trump’s late confirmation altered his agenda and Milei offered Argentina’s energy and mineral resources as part of a hemispheric security pitch.
- He held a bilateral meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in New York to review the bilateral agenda and reaffirm cooperation on security, trade and energy.
- Milei closed the visit with a private 20‑minute meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose office publicly thanked Milei for his "firm and unconditional" support.
- At the UN and the Economic Club of New York Milei courted investors, promoted Vaca Muerta, projected strong growth and lower inflation under his program, and framed the tour as part of a push for re‑election in 2027.
- The government filed a formal diplomatic protest to the UK over extended offshore hydrocarbon licenses around the Malvinas while official data at home showed rising poverty and a sharp fall in activity, creating a contrast with Milei’s upbeat international message.
