He was invited by the Milken Institute as the main speaker along with Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the IMF, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden's advisor for Latin America, and Illan Goldfajn, head of the IDB. He is likely to have meetings with Space X CEO Elon Musk and FIFA President Gianni Infantino

(From Washington, United States) Javier Milei flies to Los Angeles tomorrow to describe his Government program and his view of the world at the global conference of the Milken Institute, a conservative forum with a lot of influence on the west coast of the United States.

In addition to his keynote address, Milei could have meetings with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Gianni Infantino , president of FIFA. With Musk it would be the continuation of the dialogue he had in Austin, where there was perfect harmony regarding the economy, finance and technology.


Milei will use the official plane that Alberto Fernández purchased before concluding his mandate, following Patricia Bullrich's recommendation to increase the President's protection levels. The head of state makes a strong defense of Israel's right to exterminate Hamas in Gaza, and the Security Minister recommended that commercial flights be avoided in the face of the Middle East crisis.


Nicolás Posse, Chief of Staff; Luis Caputo, Minister of Economy; Karina Milei, Secretary General of the Presidency, and Gerardo Werthein , ambassador to the United States, make up the official delegation. The presidential tour is scheduled to last approximately 60 hours , but Milei has shown that her agenda abroad can suffer unexpected changes.


On the afternoon of May 6,
Milei will describe his Government program and his geopolitical view of the world in Los Angeles. The president will close a day that will have already included the presentations of Kristalina Georgieva , managing director of the IMF; Illan Goldfjan, head of the IDB; Chris Dodd , Joe Biden's special advisor for Latin America, and Mohammed El-Kuwaiz, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Saudi Arabian Capital Markets.

President Javier Milei is already announced on the agenda of the global convention organized by the Milken Institute.
As always happens on presidential tours, Milei has her own limited agenda. In this case it could be Musk and Infantino, while the Posse-Caputo tandem would be dedicated to the foreign investors participating in the global convention and the managing director Georgieva , who is still reluctant to push for an extra disbursement from the IMF to open the exchange rate trap. .

The Milken Institute's call for the global convention has as its leitmotif "shaping a shared future" , and its explanatory statement reflects the current situation on the international board: "Today we face critical issues, from dangerous geopolitics , to the climate crisis and the complexities of artificial intelligence, where its potential and impact on workers, companies and global markets must be examined.”

In this context, Milei will insist on the ideological perspective that he already advanced in the speeches he gave in Davos, the Conservative Action Policy Conference (CPAC) and Florida International University (FIU). The President criticizes the intervention of the State to resolve market failures , ignores the political class as an obvious link with society and makes a staunch defense of the Austrian School.

“Free enterprise capitalism is the only tool we have to end hunger , poverty and destitution across the entire planet,” Milei argued in Davos.

“The neoclassical economics of market failures is functional to the advance of statism and how it destroys economic growth, putting a brake on improvements in well-being and the fight against poverty,” added the president at the CPAC.

And he completed his perspective with this almost suburban phrase that he improvised during his lecture at the University of Florida: “I am a black swan; I arrived because there was a triple carom,” Milei said after questioning Antonio Gramsci, Benito Mussolini, Adolfo Hitler, John Maynard Keynes and Joseph Stiglitz.

If there are no changes to the presidential agenda, Milei returns on May 7.
