Argentine President Javier Milei said he will seek a free trade agreement with the United States and expects the incoming Trump administration to “support” his government with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He also said that he will pursue more trade opportunities with China and confirmed he will travel to Beijing in March. “It’s clear that the [U.S.] president-elect is much more comfortable with me than with other leaders,” Milei added. Despite the Argentine president’s enthusiasm for a Trump administration, it remains to be seen if his goals of more trade with Washington are a viable option. The Argentine government is waiting for details from the Trump staff to confirm the date and place of the meeting.
