This week, President Javier Milei will travel to the United States again

The Argentine president, Javier Milei, will embark on his fourth trip to the United States this week since the beginning of his mandate, with an agenda full of meetings and events related to the technology industry and the search for investments. Accompanied by a delegation that includes members of his government , they will depart this Monday night. In what will be the president's seventh trip abroad, Milei plans to attend a series of key meetings in Silicon Valley in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area .


Luis Caputo , Minister of Economy of the Nation, will be one of those who will make up the delegation that will accompany the Argentine head of state, while the Chief of Staff, Nicolás Posse , will not get on the plane on this occasion. This decision by the national leader fuels rumors of a possible reorganization in the Government that would include removals within the cabinet of ministers.


The President and the head of the economic portfolio will hold meetings with executives from the technology sector . Two weeks ago they had already been on the west coast of the United States to participate in a day of the forum organized by the Milken Institute that included a speech by the president and a closed round with businessmen, in which Posse had also participated.


One of the highlights of his visit will be a meeting with the director of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg , as well as meetings with representatives of leading technology companies such as Apple, Alphabet's Google and other firms in the sector.


As part of these same movements, on Monday, May 20, the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, received Google executives in La Rosada and they spoke about the arrival of the Firmina submarine cable to Las Toninas , on the Atlantic coast,

Among the meetings of the Argentine president, a meeting with Mark Zuckerberg stands out

Although the schedule of the visit is not yet completely defined, no meetings with US government officials are anticipated. The main focus of the presidential delegation will be on advancing the development of Artificial Intelligence in Argentina and attracting foreign investments to the country.

In addition to his commitments in the United States, President Milei is scheduled to attend the renewal of Nayib Bukele's command in El Salvador on June 1 . The Salvadoran president, who was re-elected with a wide margin of votes, has shown interest in strengthening ties with Argentina, as demonstrated by sending his Minister of Finance and Public Security to Milei's inauguration ceremony. Bukele was reelected with 85% of the votes over Manuel Flores , FLMN candidate, and won 58 of 60 deputies in the Legislative Assembly.

The good relationship between the two has as interlocutor the Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich , who several times praised the Central American's methods to combat drug trafficking and insecurity problems.

Later, in June, the Argentine president plans to participate in the Summit of the Group of 7 in Italy, made up of the United States, Germany, Japan, Canada, France, the United Kingdom and Italy, which will meet between June 13 and 15. , and there he will meet with leaders of important world powers. A day later, on the 16th, he would travel to Burgenstock, Switzerland, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky planned the Peace Summit. He is also scheduled to visit Madrid , despite tensions with the Spanish government, where he will be awarded by the Juan de Mariana Institute during Freedom Week.

The last destination of his tour will be Hamburg, Germany , where he will be awarded the Hayek Medal in reference to the Nobel Prize winner in economics Frederic von Hayek , in recognition for “the fight for the noble cause of freedom that he has presented on the academic level and now on the political level,” said the Argentine president.

This extensive international agenda reflects President Milei's efforts to strengthen Argentina's international ties, as well as his commitment to technological development and attracting foreign investments in the country.
