Milei took part in New York in the Americas Shield session alongside Trump
The President opened his agenda in the United States with his presence at the White House-backed summit on regional security. Later, he has scheduled activities in Queens and a meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Javier Milei began his agenda in New York this Tuesday with his participation in the session of the Americas Shield, a coalition promoted by the White House to coordinate regional security actions and combat drug trafficking.
According to the media consulted, Donald Trump was also present at the meeting. La Nacion had anticipated, based on confirmation from the White House, that both would share that activity on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and that an interaction between the two leaders could take place there.
Infobae reported that the meeting took place at the UN and that Trump remained there for 15 minutes. According to that outlet, the U.S. president called on the participating countries to deepen actions against drug cartels, warned about the interference of external powers and argued that the region’s natural resources should remain under the control of American countries.
In that same session, Milei reaffirmed Argentina’s position of taking an active role in hemispheric security and referred to the strategic importance of the South Atlantic and Antarctica, according to Infobae and Radio Mitre.
La Nacion noted that the President arrived in New York in the morning accompanied by Pablo Quirno. Luis Caputo, Alec Oxenford and Francisco Tropepi also joined the delegation. Karina Milei, meanwhile, remained in Buenos Aires, according to the Casa Rosada confirmation cited by that newspaper.
After the summit, Milei was scheduled to attend an event at Yeshiva Darchei Torah, in Queens, where he would receive an award. Later, he has a meeting with Marco Rubio on his agenda. According to La Nacion and Infobae, one of the possible topics of that conversation is the Malvinas issue, before the speech the President will deliver before the UN General Assembly.
