If President Donald Trump is concerned that delivering Argentina a $20 billion economic lifeline during a US government shutdown could give him political problems, he didn’t show it on Tuesday.

Milei, who has become a mainstay of the global conservative movement with his mop of dark hair, black leather jacket, former role as frontman of a Rolling Stones tribute band, and pack of English mastiffs that he claims give him political advice, is perhaps the world leader who has embraced Trump and his slash-and-burn style the most.
Trump praising a similar soul on the international scene was a glaring example. On a platform of cutting through Argentina’s bloated bureaucracy and purging the government of “woke leftists,” Milei was elected. He was the first international leader to pay Trump a visit at Mar-a-Lago since the US victory in November of last year. He attended Trump’s inauguration, one of just two world leaders to do so.
