Javier Milei: “Our alliance with the United States is a declaration from Argentina to the world”

President Javier Milei participated this Friday in the delivery of the C-130 Hercules aircraft to the Argentine Air Force together with the General of the United States Army and head of the Southern Command, Laura Richardson, and reaffirmed the alignment of the Government with the White House. Our alliance with the United States, demonstrated throughout these first months of administration, is a declaration by Argentina to the world. After decades of isolationism, bombastic speeches and spurious pacts, Argentina has decided to reinsert itself into the concert of nations and take the leading role that it should never have abandoned,” emphasized the head of state during his brief speech at the Jorge Newbery Airport in the City of Buenos Aires. “This new foreign policy doctrine will allow us to promote the economic prosperity of our peoples, an indispensable requirement to guarantee the sovereignty of our homeland,” he said. Milei met with Laura Richardson in Ushuaia: “We want to strengthen our strategic alliance with the United States”Before the Chief of the Southern Command – with whom he met last night in Tierra del Fuego – and the U.S. ambassador in Buenos Aires, Marc Stanley, MIlei assured that Argentina and the United States “share a cultural DNA, which was embodied by the founding fathers of both nations in our first constitutions, a tradition that has at its base the ideas of freedom, the defense of life and private property.” “Ideas,” he added, “that lifted the majority of the world’s population out of extreme poverty in the last 250 years.” President Javier Milei speaks at the ceremony of delivery of the C-130 Hercules aircraft to the Argentine Air Force.

But most seriously, it condemns us to economic misery and irrelevance in the concert of nations,” he said. Winners and losers of Milei’s economic planAlong these lines, he asked: “How can we defend ours if while our neighbors grow and develop, we stagnate? Today, we face the arduous task of reversing this decline.” Finally, Milei thanked “the support” that the U.S. government has shown in these first months of libertarian administration and hoped that this “is the beginning of a special relationship that brings prosperity to our peoples and helps us push the cause of freedom wherever it is needed.” “May God bless the Argentines and may the forces of heaven be with us,” he concluded. The event in the Federal Capital was also attended by the Minister of Defense, Luis Petri; the Chief of Staff, Nicolás Posse; the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos;
the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich; the Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces, Xavier Julián Isaac; the Chief of the General Staff of the Air Force, Fernando Mengo; the Chief of the General Staff of the Navy, Carlos María Allievi; the Chief of the General Staff of the Army, Carlos Alberto Presti, and the U.S. Ambassador to Argentina, Marc Stanley.
