The libertarian leader will make his first U.S. appearance since taking office, addressing conservatives at the CPAC gala in Washington, D.C.
Argentinian President Javier Milei is set to deliver a headline speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) gala, marking his first official appearance in the United States since assuming office in late 2023.
Organizers confirmed that Milei will attend the high-profile gathering in Washington, D.C., where he is expected to discuss free-market reforms, U.S.–Argentina relations, and the global rise of libertarian movements. The CPAC stage, which has hosted figures such as Donald Trump and Viktor Orbán, has become a magnet for international right-wing leaders seeking to align with U.S. conservatives.
Milei’s fiery rhetoric and aggressive austerity measures have drawn both praise and criticism in Argentina, where his administration has pushed deep spending cuts, deregulation, and efforts to combat inflation. His CPAC appearance underscores his ambition to position himself as a leading voice of global anti-establishment politics.
Analysts say Milei’s speech could help strengthen Argentina’s ties with Washington while broadening his international profile as an icon of the libertarian right.
