In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, the President indicated that he proposed to David Cameron to start a conversation about the sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands and explained the economic problems that the country is going through.
The president referred to the main debates of his first 45 days in office
After Javier Milei will participate for the first time in the World Economic Forum held in the Swiss city of Davos , the President ratified his economic plan and assured that he is willing to face possible social protests, stating that "if he considered them an impediment, he would not “It would make sense to make the changes.”
During an interview with The Wall Street Journal , the national president spoke about international relations, maintained that “there is no plan B” for the free currency competition program that he had announced during the campaign and that would lead to dollarization, and defended the law. omnibus that Congress is dealing with.
“ This represents only a quarter of the reforms we are proposing , and once these laws have been approved, we are willing to continue pushing for more,” anticipated the head of state.
Asked about the possibility that, as a consequence of the adjustment measures, social protests may intensify, he replied: “If I considered that as an impediment, it would make no sense for me to intervene to make the changes . ”
In Davos, Milei took advantage of the event that brought together world leaders to approach the United Kingdom Foreign Minister , David Cameron , with the intention of reopening the dialogue on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands . “We have decided to have an adult relationship,” she said now about how she will face the negotiations over the issue in the South Atlantic.
In the middle of his first trip as a national representative to the world, the head of state admitted having met with the British chancellor, with the aim of asking him to resolve the diplomatic conflict over Argentina's years of claims over the territory. In this sense, the president highlighted his intention to work together with the British Government to put an end to the problem.
“We have decided to have an adult relationship, in which we can participate and work together on the international agenda and begin to have a talk about our territorial difference,” said Milei, not ruling out that the communication channel could become a space of economic negotiation.
“You may have different differences, we may have differences with the United Kingdom regarding the Malvinas Islands. However, that does not make it impossible for us to have a set of adult commercial relations,” said the president during an interview with journalists Ryan Dubé and Emma Tucker , after having been consulted about his position on cutting off relations with communist countries.

Previously, the president revealed to Infobae the response he received from Cameron, who seemed to have left the door open to schedule a future meeting between the parties. “We are not making in-depth progress, but we have set it as a point on an agenda where our Chancellor Diana Mondino and Minister Cameron will move forward in finding a solution to the issue,” he stated.
Regarding the diplomatic discussion, the head of state indicated that he would seek to take as an example the Hong Kong Case , the name by which the negotiation that allowed China to recover the territory that had been occupied by the United Kingdom since approximately 1841 is known. However, the official statement published by the European country after the meeting would have implied that they will be willing to debate, but that they would not modify their position.
“On the Falkland Islands, the Foreign Secretary and President Milei said they would agree to disagree and would do so politely. “The position of the United Kingdom and its continued support for the right of the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands to self-determination remain unchanged,” the British authorities expressed in this regard.
In reference to the economic plan he is carrying out, the Head of State ratified the intention to dollarize the economy and privatize public companies. “ This process can last about two years and it is true that there is a warning light that says that it is difficult to endure more than a year . The truth is that when we begin to see the way the data is running and how inflation is moving, we ourselves are surprised by the speed with which we are achieving results,” he explained.
“It is true that we would need investments because one of the things that happens is that, when you make a fiscal adjustment , you increase savings. If this savings does not have an investment counterpart, there will be a fall in economic activity, a fall in employment and a fall in real wages,” he added on the subject.
And he stated: “ I will do everything I can sell from state companies as soon as possible . ” But there are institutional restrictions,” he clarified, and when consulted by sectors, he remarked: “We are going to privatize everything that can be privatized .” “It is not a question of names, but of a technical restriction in terms of time.”
Regarding the dollarization of the national economy, Milei said: “We have always talked about free currency competition of whatever Argentines choose. It is likely that they will initially choose the dollar. There is no plan b, there is no plan B to do things right . You do things well or you do them well. Because if plan B is to do things more or less or negotiate... that is the history of Argentina, that's how we are."
Another of the key points that the President discussed was his intention to cut the alliance with China . “We must separate the geopolitical issue from the commercial issue,” he said, denying that this movement meant a cessation of economic ties between Argentine and Chinese private companies.

Since the electoral campaign that propelled the leader of La Libertad Avanza (LLA) towards the National Executive Branch, the president anticipated his intention to stop the relations that were established with the eastern country in previous governments. The main reason lies in the socialist ideas embodied by Chinese President Xi Jinping , after he pointed out that the link would have no economic and/or financial benefit for the country.
“It is true that I do not consider it to be our strategic partner, but we must separate the geopolitical issue from the commercial one,” said the head of state, referring to the fact that the commercial negotiations that would be finalized would be related only to the areas of the State. In this sense, he stated that trading between private companies will be allowed, arguing that “the commercial base should not be affected because it is basically a private decision.”
On the other hand, the president confirmed that he will seek to strengthen foreign relations with Western countries. “Argentina has to return to the West, a path from which she had strayed,” he noted. Likewise, he gave as an example of a measure the speech he gave at the World Economic Forum, which caused businessman Elon Musk and the candidate for president and former president of the United States, Donald Trump , to express their support through social networks. .
Likewise, the President ratified his support for Israel in the context of the war with Hamas: “I have a clear position on the matter. "We have decided to condemn the terrorist acts of the Hamas group, we have decided to show solidarity with Israel and its inhabitants, regardless of their nationality."
”We consider that Israel has a right in terms of self-defense given the terrorist aggression it has received. Our policy is designed from a moral perspective,” she concluded.
