    Not an expert, but isn’t the argentinian president an ultra-liberal? (liberal as the world-definition, not the US-definition)

    Could this just be to appease Trump?

      He ran a campaign claiming to be ancap libertarian and liberal (as you say, the world definition). However, if one listened closely to what he said and paid attention to what he did, as well as look at the local people he rubbed elbows with, one would understand immediately that he’s just a right-wing authoritarian populist.

      He has met up with the same people behind Trump from the start, and as soon as he took over last year he pulled the same crap Trump is pulling in the US. He only became bolder now that Trump’s term began. That’s not appeasement, it’s knowing he has Trump backing him in case people here become too fed up with him. Though I have to wonder if Trump would even care.

      Edit: Some people here are trying to paint trumpism = peronism as to distance Milei from Trump, but it’s bullcrap.
