Former US President Donald Trump congratulated Javier Milei, a libertarian politician who was elected as President of Argentina, on his election win. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform saying "The whole world was watching! I am very proud of you. You will turn your Country around and truly Make Argentina Great Again!" Milei is considered an outsider with radical views to fix Argentina's economy. Milei defeated the incumbent center-left Peronist coalition in the presidential elections and will face the challenge of taming high inflation and turning around Argentina's struggling economy during his presidency.
