Milei Maps Two U.S. Trips as Argentina Courts Wall Street and Waits on Trade Decision

The effort targets U.S. investors alongside conservative networks during a period of pending decisions on a bilateral commercial framework in Washington.

Overview

  • Argentina’s embassy confirmed Argentina Week in New York for March 9–12 as a JPMorgan-backed investor roadshow featuring senior officials and industry leaders.
  • Event organizers announced Javier Milei as guest of honor to speak at the Hispanic Prosperity Gala at Mar-a-Lago on February 10, though his attendance has not been officially confirmed by the Argentine government.
  • Multiple outlets report a two-trip plan to the United States within about 30 days, with the March roadshow following the Florida gala if the latter goes ahead.
  • Argentine officials say the final decision on a bilateral commercial framework rests with Washington, with intellectual property for pharmaceuticals flagged as a sticking point and a recent U.S.–El Salvador deal seen as a potential precedent.
  • The New York program cites appearances by ministers including Pablo Quirno and Luis Caputo, more than 50 CEOs, and partners such as Citi, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, AmCham, and AS/COA at venues including JPMorgan, Bank of America, and the Argentine Consulate.
