Argentina’s newly elected President Javier Milei will travel to the United States on Sunday evening for personal and other reasons related to his new duties since December 10, Reuters officially announced.
“First he will travel to New York to give (religious) thanks for the place (life) has given him, and then he will hold working meetings in Washington,” his spokesman said, without providing further details.
Argentine media report a visit to Ohel, site of the grave of Menachem Mendel Schneerson, an influential rabbi in the international Jewish community.
The delegation includes his sister Karina Milei, Nicolás Posse, Santiago Werthein, Santiago Caputo and the US Ambassador to Argentina, Marc Stanley.

“There will be meetings in Washington with officials from the IMF, the White House and the Treasury Department. The meetings are recorded to explain the economic plan: budget adjustment, monetary reform, state reform and deregulation (and) it is not about financing,” the spokesperson said.
Milei won the southern country’s presidency a week ago with promises to dollarize the economy, abolish the central bank, fully resolve the budget deficit and reduce poverty, boosting the local capital market.
His Foreign Minister, Diana Mondino, likely traveled to Brazil to strengthen ties with the country’s main trading partner.
