A year after taking office, Mr. Milei is viewed favorably by about 56 percent of Argentines, according to a recent poll, making him one of the most popular presidents in the country's recent history.
While a cascade of brutal cuts to everything from soup kitchens to bus fare subsidies have pushed more than five million Argentines into poverty, they have also helped Mr. Milei make remarkable progress on a daunting task: reining in the world's highest inflation rate.
This is the president that God brought for the Argentines, said Marcelo Capobianco, 54, a butcher in Buenos Aires. He brought back hope.
Mr. Trump told Mr. Milei at a gala for a right-wing research institute, 'The job you've done is incredible. You've done a fantastic job in a very short period of time.'
