Ayuso Meets Milei in Buenos Aires, Backing U.S. Move on Venezuela

The private encounter served as a public signal of Milei's tighter alignment with Washington on the Venezuelan transition.

Overview

  • The Casa Rosada meeting, part of Isabel Díaz Ayuso's private trip, focused on the Venezuelan crisis with Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno in attendance.
  • Both leaders endorsed the U.S. operation ordered by President Donald Trump that led to Nicolás Maduro's detention and a U.S.-supervised transition framework.
  • Javier Milei also received Venezuelan opposition figure Elisa Trotta, who described the conversation as fundamental and celebrated the collapse of Maduro's regime.
  • Ayuso later thanked Milei on X, calling for sister nations and liberal democracies to nurture the relationship.
  • The engagement fits Milei's effort to cement alignment with the United States and elevate his profile ahead of a planned appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
