A challenge to Biden's Latin American policies

 Breitbart:

Argentine President-elect Javier Milei won the nation’s top office on November 19 by standing against many of the policies and values that define the administration of his American counterpart Joe Biden – and presents a serious challenge to Biden’s Latin America policy.

Milei, a longtime economy analyst for Argentine news programs and a lawmaker for only two years, trounced opponent Sergio Massa with an 11-point lead in Sunday’s runoff election. Massa is the country’s minister of economics, the man most directly responsible for a historic inflation rate of over 140 percent, skyrocketing poverty rates, joblessness, and growing emigration. While Massa’s campaign attempted to scare voters out of supporting Milei by asserting that, given his lack of political experience, he was a wildcard, Milei successfully argued that Argentines already had next to nothing to lose.

“A different Argentina is impossible with the same people as always,” he stated in his campaign ads.

Milei has repeatedly vowed that he would dramatically change Argentina’s foreign policy, currently oriented under leftist rule towards China, Russia, and Iran. America and Israel would be his top allies, he has asserted in multiple interviews. On Monday, he told Argentina’s Radio Mitre that his first international trip as president-elect, to occur before the December 10 inauguration, would be to the United States, and he would fly to Israel for a “spiritual” visit from there.

Milei’s love of America is unlikely to translate into love of Biden. As a candidate, he was sharply critical of Biden’s poor performance at the helm of the country.

Following an incident in March 2022 in which Biden appeared to confuse Iran and Ukraine in public statements, Milei lamented that the president was “not in any condition” to lead America.

“The social democrat (lukewarm dove under the ‘progressive’ prototype format) just left clear that he is not in any condition to be president of the United States,” Milei wrote at the time on Twitter.

“Lukewarm leaders are not capable of facing red autocrats and less if they sympathize with their ideas,” he added, suggesting that Biden and Russian strongman Vladimir Putin share a common ideology. Milei has publicly expressed strong support for Ukraine in the face of the ongoing invasion of the country by Russia, which garnered him a warm message of congratulations on Monday from the nation’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky.

 Milei is outspoken and appears angry about the current conditions and policies of Argentine.  I suspect the changes he is going to impose will eventually improve conditions.  It may take a while to clean up the current mess.
