Nieves Zuberbühler, a 38-year-old Argentine journalist, became the unexpected protagonist of the press conference during Javier Milei’s visit to the White House. While she was trying to congratulate Donald Trump on the peace agreement in the Middle East, the American president interrupted her with a curious tone: “Are you Argentine?” His affirmative response unleashed a reaction that went viral: “I love Argentina…” Trump exclaimed, generating laughter among those present. Not satisfied, he added a scathing comment against the ABC network, stating that he liked Argentinians “more than ABC Fake News.” This exchange, full of Trump’s signature style, made Zuberbühler the center of attention and one of the most talked-about moments of the event.
PERFIL correspondent in the United States, Zuberbühler also works for TN and El Trece from New York, where he has forged a solid international career. Coming from a family of Argentine high society, she is the daughter of Ignacio Zuberbühler and Marina Blaquier, and granddaughter of Malena Nelson Hunter de Blaquier, an iconic figure for her elegance. Graduated with honors in Journalism from the Universidad Austral, she completed a master’s degree at New York University and worked on the prestigious CBS 60 Minutes, where she won two Emmy Awards. Since 2020, he has covered international topics and high-profile interviews, establishing himself as a prominent voice in Argentine journalism abroad.
Personally, Zuberbühler was married to the Colombian magnate Julio Mario Santo Domingo III and, since 2022, to the South African businessman James Wyman, with whom she has a daughter and is expecting a second child. Her family ties connect her with figures such as Andrea Casiraghi and Nacho Figueras, a friend of Prince Harry. Her charisma, career and the recent episode with Trump position her as a key figure on the global stage, representing Argentina with professionalism and presence.
