Just two weeks before the elections, donald trump received Javier Milei in the White House. During a round of questions with accredited journalists, the American president offered a comment that was a true bear hug that almost suffocated the libertarian leader live, conditioning the ongoing economic support for Argentina to the electoral result of the legislative elections on October 26.
“If he loses, we will not be so generous,” the Republican firmly stated that day. The strong support through the US Treasury Secretary had been implemented with the announcement of a currency swap for 20 billion dollars, intervention in the market through the purchase of pesos and more financial aid was promised. Faced with such a requirement, the markets hesitated and faltered, while the Argentine government justified the president’s statements as if they were a misinterpretation.
However, that controversial meeting had its good results. Although there were bills passed against the former chancellor Gerardo Wertheinby the trolls of Santiago Caputofor not adequately advising that legislative elections were being decided in the country, the magnate’s vote of confidence was well received by the libertarian electorate. The LLA campaign was catching its breath at that moment in the face of the scandals inflicted by the case. Espert-Machado and the recordings of the former Andis owner, Diego Spagnuoloabout alleged bribes that affected the Secretary General of the Presidency Karina Milei.
This Sunday, LLA obtained almost 41 percent of the votes nationwide and won not only in important provinces such as Santa Fe and Córdoba, but also turned around the September 7 vote in the province of Buenos Aires. In Buenos Aires territory, the libertarian coalition won fairly over Fuerza Patria after that 14-point difference in the provincial legislative elections. Diego Santilli, who topped the list after the forced resignation of José Luis Espert, took a surprising hit against a ghostly Jorge Taiana for whom the campaign was too big.
Of course, Milei thanked the person who maintained more functional support in these weeks and who allowed the Argentine economy not to collapse. “Thank you president donald trump for trusting the Argentine people. You are a great friend of Argentina. Our nations should never have stopped being allies. Our people want to live in freedom. Count on me to fight for Western civilization, which managed to lift more than 90% of the world’s population out of poverty. MAGA,” the albiceleste president tweeted.
The celebration was reciprocal, on social networks, the Republican president messaged: “Congratulations to Javier Milei for his overwhelming victory in Argentina. He is doing a wonderful job! Our trust in him has been justified by the people of Argentina,” he published in reference to the Argentine head of state. But the wink didn’t end there.
A few minutes later, Trump reposted a publication made by the journalist Eric Daugherty Florida’s Voice deputy news director, who discussed the national elections and mentioned Juan Grabois ironically. “Argentine left-wing Peronist candidate Juan Grabois just claimed that today’s Argentine elections were ‘tough’ because the campaign manager for Javier Milei’s party is President Donald Trump. Milei’s party is reportedly performing excellently!” Daugherty wrote.
The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, Scott Bessent, He also congratulated the President and La Libertad Avanza for the results obtained in the legislative elections, in which the ruling party managed to consolidate its presence in Congress. The economist posted: “Congratulations to President Javier Milei for the very successful result of the midterm elections,” and continued: “Milei has a renewed mandate for change.”
