Milei ends his New York trip with a meeting with Netanyahu and a presentation before business leaders
The president will meet with Israel’s prime minister to discuss the crisis in the Middle East. He will also take part in a luncheon at the Economic Club, where he will again address the Falklands and set out his position on artificial intelligence.
Javier Milei is spending his final day in New York with an agenda focused on foreign policy and the economy. According to reports from Infobae and El Destape, the president is scheduled to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu to analyze the crisis in the Middle East and then speak at a luncheon at the Economic Club before returning to Buenos Aires.
According to Infobae, the meeting with the Israeli prime minister will take place on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and will serve to reaffirm the political ties between the two governments. The outlet also noted that Milei extended his stay in the United States to make that meeting happen.
At the same time, the president will address business leaders, bankers and investors at the Economic Club. There he will again defend Argentina’s position on the Falkland Islands and elaborate on his view of artificial intelligence, in line with what he had already set out in his remarks before the UN and the Fundación Federalismo y Libertad.
Infobae added that Milei will be accompanied by Luis Caputo, Alec Oxenford and Pablo Quirno. It also said it was not confirmed whether the conversation with Netanyahu will include the situation of Navitas Petroleum, the Israeli firm involved in oil exploration in the Falkland Islands. Asked by that outlet, Quirno said he did not know, because it was a private conversation between the two heads of state.
According to Infobae, in previous months the government had considered using as indirect pressure the possibility of halting the announcement of the relocation of the Argentine embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, although that was ultimately put on hold to avoid a diplomatic conflict with Israel.
El Destape added that, simultaneously, the government of the United Kingdom issued a statement reaffirming the wish of the kelpers for the islands to remain under its territory.
