Argentina
Milei travels to New York to speak before the UN in a trip marked by the Malvinas claim
The President will depart Monday night for the United States and remain there until Thursday. His schedule includes an address to the UN General Assembly, meetings with economists, business leaders and representatives of the Jewish community.
Javier Milei will begin a new trip to the United States on Monday night, his 19th since taking office as President, according to Clarín and El Cronista. The president will depart at 11 p.m. from the military sector of Aeroparque Metropolitano and will be in that country until Thursday night, with activities concentrated in New York.
The central focus of the trip will be his participation in the 81st General Assembly of the United Nations, where he is scheduled to speak on Wednesday afternoon. According to both outlets, the trip will take place amid Argentina’s renewed claim to sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, reactivated after Donald Trump’s remarks about a possible change in the United States’ stance on the South Atlantic conflict.
Before his appearance before the UN, Milei will give a lecture at Yeshiva Darchei Torah and receive the Ohev Yisrael award, a distinction linked to his support for Israel and his relationship with the Jewish community, according to Clarín and El Cronista. He will also hold meetings with economists Roberto Salinas and Xavier Sala-i-Martin.
Both outlets also noted that, in this context, the Government announced tougher sanctions for companies operating in the islands, including Navitas and Rockhopper, as well as the construction of a military base in Ushuaia and the submission of a National Sovereignty bill.
The President’s agenda will continue with a conference on Western values, economic freedom and strategic security, and with meetings with business leaders linked to the Council of the Americas. On Thursday, before returning to Buenos Aires, he will close his visit with an address at The Economic Club of New York.
According to El Cronista, Milei’s international activity will continue later this month, when he leads the Argentine delegation at Argentina Week in Paris. Clarín added that the event will take place between September 30 and October 2 and is expected to include the participation of governors and other political leaders.
