"The South Atlantic is the strategic battleground of the coming decades. Argentina must be a 'player' in the region. We must create the century of the Americas: Make Americas Great Again, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. We have the critical minerals that the West needs—gas, oil, nuclear power and renewable energy—to supply large-scale production chains."
"Milei stressed the need to maintain good ties with the US, highlighting the financial support provided by Washington last year and alluding to the 'special relationship' he has with Trump, whom he defined as a 'key ally.' He wants to make the 'strategic alliance' with the US a 'state policy.'"
"He announced a package of 90 reforms in the address to parliament on Sunday, saying they would 'redesign' Argentina 'for the next 50 years.' The reforms will focus on economy, taxes, the criminal code, the electoral system, education, justice and defense."
