# Milei: ‘We must strengthen strategic alliance with United States’

## President Javier Milei Leads Effort to Strengthen Ties with the United States

President Javier Milei embarked on a significant visit to Tierra del Fuego, marking Argentina’s growing alliance with the United States. In two impactful speeches, the La Libertad Avanza leader emphasized the need for a deeper strategic partnership with Washington.

During a brief address on Thursday night, Milei asserted, “The best way to defend our sovereignty is to strengthen our strategic alliance with the United States and with all countries that espouse the values of freedom.”

The focal point of President Milei’s trip was a meeting with General Laura Richardson, head of the US Southern Command, in Ushuaia. This rendezvous was strategically chosen to underscore the Milei administration’s commitment to strengthening ties with the United States, especially in light of China’s expanding presence in the region.

Despite a delayed arrival, Milei, accompanied by Defence Minister Luis Petri, engaged in discussions with Richardson and US Ambassador to Argentina Marc Stanley. Interior Minister Guillermo Francos, presidential chief-of-staff Karina Milei, and Cabinet Chief Nicolás Posse also joined the delegation.

Milei, dressed in Army attire, wasted no time in highlighting the administration’s shift in foreign policy. He expressed gratitude for the US support and stressed the natural affinity between Argentines and the United States based on shared principles of freedom and the sanctity of life.

The President criticized previous governments for aligning with countries like China and Russia and advocated for closer ties with the West, particularly with the United States and Israel. He emphasized the need to uphold Western values of freedom and property rights, identifying them as foundational to both nations’ political histories.

The visit also addressed concerns regarding the Chinese deep space station in Neuquén, Patagonia, an issue that the Milei administration intends to scrutinize following US apprehensions.

As a gesture of the enduring partnership, General Richardson officially transferred a C-130H Hercules aircraft to Argentina’s Air Force, reinforcing the collaboration in defense and regional security efforts. The aircraft transfer symbolizes the robust bilateral cooperation between the two nations.

In her statements, General Richardson affirmed Washington’s commitment to fortifying the longstanding relationship with Argentina. She underlined the common values of democracy and freedom that bind the two nations together, acknowledging the enduring friendship based on respect for human rights and the rule of law.

President Milei’s proactive engagement reflects Argentina’s renewed focus on fortifying strategic alliances with the United States and other freedom-loving nations. The collaborative efforts underscore a shared commitment to safeguarding sovereignty and upholding democratic values in the face of global challenges.
