Argentina's Milei to meet Biden aide after lunch with Bill Clinton

 

Argentina's President-elect Javier Milei will meet with a top security aide to U.S. President Joe Biden in Washington, the White House confirmed on Monday, after the far-right libertarian lunched with former U.S. President Bill Clinton in New York, Paralel.Az reports citing Reuters.

The meal with the former U.S. leader, a Democrat largely on the opposite side of the ideological fence from Milei, marked an especially surprising part of the incoming Argentine president's first foreign trip after winning a run-off vote earlier this month.

On Tuesday, Milei will meet with U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, while his economic advisers are scheduled to meet with senior U.S. finance officials to discuss the president-elect's economic priorities.

Meetings will also take place with officials from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Milei's office previously announced, aimed at explaining Milei's economic plans, which on the campaign trail included dollarizing Argentina and shuttering its central bank.
