President Trump and Argentina's president, Javier Malé, have a close relationship.
If you see the photos of Javier Malé when he meets Trump, he just seems so happy.
He's just kind of in his zone when he's in that environment.
Here they are together at a political conference for conservatives in 2024.
Yeah, so Malay has always been, you know, a top fan of President Trump.
He described his President Trump's loss in 2020 as, you know, a threat to Western civilization.
Those were the words he used.
That's our colleague Ryan Dubey.
He covers Latin America.
Both of them are kind of political outsiders.
Both of them were also very critical of kind of leftist, woke political programs.
And Malé wanted to really align Argentina and his government with the U.S. and with the Trump administration.
This Sunday, President Malé will face his first real electoral test since he took office in 2023.
That election will indicate how voters feel about Millet's radical overhaul of Argentina's troubled economy.
What does Millet's position look like right now?
So it's been deteriorating, actually.
It hasn't been very good.
A few months ago, I think things were looking really up for him and stuff.
He was bringing down inflation.
Poverty had begun to decline, but it's starting to show some cracks, I think, in his program.
