REGIONAL ALLIES: Argentina’s Milei and El Salvador’s Bukele Invited to Donald J. Trump’s Inauguration

Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele.

As we approach the historic second inauguration of US President Donald J. Trump, we start to learn a bit about how the vent will shape up.

Doing away with tradition, Trump is reported to have invited foreign leaders to the event that will mark the start of his new administration that received a broad mandate from the US citizenry.

More world leaders have confirmed invitations to the inauguration.

Argentina’s President Javier Milei is already disclosing his plans to travel to Washington to witness the transfer of power.

Associated Press reported:

“Milei’s spokesman Manuel Adorni told journalists in a text message that Trump had invited the Argentine leader, noting how it was the first time such an invitation had been extended to the president from the South American nation. And the Salvadoran ambassador to the U.S. said there had been an invitation to President Nayib Bukele and was still waiting to hear whether he would accept it.”

It will be the first time in American history that foreign heads of state make official visits to the U.S. for a Presidential inauguration.

“On Monday, Trump spoke about his invitation to Chinese President Xi Jinping, revealing he had not declined it or confirmed his attendance yet. He was asked which other world leaders had been invited and whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was among them. Trump said the Ukrainian leader had not been invited, ‘but if he’d like to come, I’d like to have him’.”

Asked a question about what other heads of state he had invited, Trump said ‘world leaders were calling him’.

El Salvador’s ambassador to the U.S. Milena Mayorga is awaiting confirmation from Bukele to whether he will accept the invitation.

Mayorga explained that it was still under consideration ‘due to security reasons’.

“Milei was the first foreign leader to meet with Trump after the election, traveling from Buenos Aires to the president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago club. Milei, who describes himself as an ‘anarcho-capitalist’ receives praise frequently from billionaire Elon Musk and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who will helm the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” to fire federal workers, cut programs and slash federal regulations.

In his message to journalists, Milei’s spokesperson Adorni said Trump is creating an entity similar to his new ministry of deregulation in Argentina. Milei brandished a chainsaw while campaigning on budget cuts, and then implemented a series of austerity measures, laying off tens of thousands of government workers, freezing public infrastructure projects and imposing wage and pension freezes below inflation.”
