British media says Milei will make the first visit by an Argentine president to the UK in 27 years
"So far, there has been no official confirmation from the Argentine government. The last Argentine president to visit London was Carlos Menem (1989-1999), 27 years ago, in October 1998. Milei's plan, according to the article, is to travel there next April or May. It would be a visit I would learn a lot from, he stated, adding that he had also invited Starmer to an official meeting in Buenos Aires."
"According to the British media outlet, Milei also asserted that his government is working to have the United Kingdom lift or ease restrictions on the sale of British military equipment to the South American country, restrictions imposed as a result of the Falklands War. When asked about the existence of negotiations in this regard, Milei responded affirmatively: Absolutely, he said."
Javier Milei plans a 2026 visit to London and intends meetings with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. The planned trip is targeted for April or May and follows a 27-year gap since the last Argentine presidential visit to London in 1998. Milei invited Starmer to an official meeting in Buenos Aires and praised Farage's Brexit views. The Milei government is pursuing removal or easing of UK restrictions on sales of British military equipment to Argentina imposed after the 1982 Falklands War. UK sources denied that such negotiations were underway.
