BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina’s President Javier Milei set off Wednesday for his 14th trip to the United States to take part in the inaugural session of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace initiative. He is also expected to attend Trump’s regional summit in Miami on March 7 with Latin American leaders aligned with the White House’s political agenda.
The visits come as Trump seeks to bolster alliances to counter Chinese influence in Latin America, and as Milei — whose country counts China as its top trading partner — walks a careful diplomatic line, reshaping Argentine foreign policy to mirror Washington’s while pursuing closer economic ties with Beijing.
