Milei postponed the Cabinet meeting and is focusing on his speech before the UN
The President suspended the meeting scheduled for this Monday at Casa Rosada before traveling to New York. The agenda in the United States will center on his Wednesday address to the United Nations General Assembly.
Javier Milei suspended the Cabinet meeting scheduled for this Monday at Casa Rosada to focus on preparing his speech before the UN General Assembly, according to Radio Mitre and Todo Noticias.
According to both outlets, the President will travel to New York on Monday night and will remain in the United States until Thursday. Todo Noticias specified that he will depart at 11 p.m. and arrive on Tuesday morning at JFK airport.
According to the schedule released by the two outlets, on Tuesday Milei will speak at Yeshiva Darchei Torah, receive the Ohev Yisrael award and hold meetings related to his visit. Radio Mitre reported meetings with economists and representatives of the Jewish community, while Todo Noticias mentioned meetings with economists Roberto Salinas and Xavier Sala i Martín.
Wednesday will be the central day of the trip: Milei will speak at noon before the United Nations General Assembly and then take part in a conference on economic freedom and strategic security. In addition, he will have an activity at the Council of the Americas and a meeting with Rabbi Simon Jacobson, according to the consistent coverage.
For Thursday, before returning to the country, the President will speak before The Economic Club of New York. Todo Noticias added that the return is scheduled for that night, with arrival in Argentina on Friday morning.
Both Radio Mitre and Todo Noticias indicated that there is currently no bilateral meeting with Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu on the official agenda, although the schedule could change during the stay.
Among the issues that could come up in the presidential address is Argentina’s claim to sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands. Radio Mitre recalled that this month the Government submitted to Congress a bill on the Defense of National Sovereignty and announced measures linked to hydrocarbon activities in the area.
The suspension of the Cabinet meeting also put on hold a political reunion after internal tensions over changes to the 2027 Budget bill. Radio Mitre linked it to a pending meeting between Milei and Patricia Bullrich, while Todo Noticias spoke of the senator’s differences with other members of the ruling coalition over cuts in disability benefits.
