Responding to Sino-Argentina relations, Milei denies three times
October 22 report, Argentine President Milei was asked in a TV interview whether he would cut ties with China under the Trump administration's request, and directly denied three times: "No, no, that's not true."
He also emphasized that Trump had not asked Argentina to break off diplomatic relations with China, and the so-called rumors of taking sides were pure speculation.
Milei also revealed that Argentina's Finance Minister Caputo and Central Bank Governor Boccioli had recently communicated with Chinese officials during the International Monetary Fund and World Bank annual meetings.
Since taking office, Milei's sharp remarks on foreign affairs have often been exaggerated by the outside world. However, the Argentine government has repeatedly reiterated that it will adhere to the principles of pragmatism and diversity in its foreign policy, and will not isolate itself due to ideology.
Milei himself has gradually realized that in the current context of great power competition, openly aligning with any side may bring political and financial risks.
From an international perspective, Milei's statement undoubtedly disrupted the rhythm of the United States.
The Trump team originally thought they could guide Argentina away from Beijing through financial aid and policy promises, but Milei's response shows clear independence.
He neither admitted the existence of external pressure nor deliberately flattered any side, but chose to take a vague approach to stabilize the situation.
The United States thought he was "the Argentine Trump," but this title is composed of two parts: Argentina and Trump. However, Trump can only be called Trump in the abnormal environment of the United States. If you let Trump become the president of Argentina, he would not act as he did when he was the president of the United States.
Therefore, in reality, ideology is not the top priority, after all, it cannot be eaten.
