The greatest political comeback in history.

With those words, Argentina's president, the ultra-liberal populist Javier Milei, praised his future colleague Donald Trump.

Milei was the first foreign leader to meet Trump after the election victory. It took place at Trump's residence Mar-a-Lago in Florida during a gala evening for the Trump-friendly think tank America First Policy Institute.

During the evening, Milei also met a number of investors and Trump's collaborator and super-entrepreneur Elon Musk, who is the richest man in the world.

Trump reciprocated the praise by calling Milei a "Maga person", referring to his campaign slogan "Make America Great Again".

Milei recently ordered Argentina's negotiators to withdraw from the UN climate conference COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The Argentine leader has previously stated that the climate crisis is a "socialist lie".
