AFP reported today: Argentine President Javier Milei said he hopes to develop the "strategic alliance" established with the United States led by his ally, US President Trump, into a "national policy".
Milei said during his state of the nation address to parliament: "We must create a 'century of the Americas': make the Americas great again, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego."
Comments: By defining the relationship with the US as a "national policy" and shouting for a "century of the Americas", Milei essentially abandons Argentina's independent diplomacy and fully aligns with the Trump camp, selling out its sovereignty. He blindly copies Trump's slogans and unconditionally takes sides, in exchange for financial aid and political endorsement from the US. This not only tears apart Latin American integration and makes the Southern Common Market a mere formality, but also hands over the country's economic lifelines and strategic choices to Washington. This is not an equal strategic alliance, but a one-way submission by a small country to a big power. In the short term, it can provide temporary relief, but in the long term, it will result in loss of sovereignty and turn Argentina into the most obedient pawn of the US in Latin America.
