Reference News Network, October 15 - According to the "World Situation" website in Brazil, on October 14, Argentine President Milei met with U.S. President Trump at the White House, aiming to reach an agreement with the United States to provide more substantial assistance to Argentina, which is currently facing an economic crisis.
However, the most important statement that Milei received from the U.S. president was threatening, mentioning the legislative elections that will take place in Argentina 12 days later. This election will re-elect half of the seats in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies and one-third of the seats in the Federal Senate.
Trump said that if the current right-wing ruling party of Argentina, "Union for Progress," does not win the legislative elections, "we will no longer be so generous to Argentina."
"We cannot waste time. Why must we help someone who does not have the idea of making Argentina great again?" asked Trump. Trump's remarks sparked reactions on social media, and then Milei's allies claimed that the U.S. president was referring to the 2027 presidential election, not the legislative election on the 26th. In the 2027 election, Milei will seek re-election.
In addition, during a joint press conference after the meeting, Trump and Milei praised each other. Trump said: "You will win the election, and now we will support you, fully support you."
Trump also predicted that after his meeting with Milei, the public support rating of Milei's party would increase, because "there are many people in Argentina who support me."
Milei said he was very honored to be invited by Trump to visit the United States and congratulated him on facilitating the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
Recently, Trump also posted on the social platform "Truth Social" that the Argentine president "is a good friend, a fighter, a winner." (Translated by Wang Meng)
