Far-right presidential candidate Javier Milei met with US ambassador to Argentina Marc Stanley on Tuesday, a meeting the diplomat called “interesting.” Last week, Stanley met with Juntos por el Cambio (JxC) candidate Patricia Bullrich and plans to meet with the other candidates before the general election on October 22, sources close to the ambassador told the Herald.
A spokesperson for Milei told the Herald that the meeting was “excellent” and said Milei and Stanley discussed “the bilateral relationship between both countries.” The spokesperson added that the United States would be the second country Milei will visit if he is elected president. “The first one will be Israel,” they said.
In a post on X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter), Stanley said the meeting thanked Milei for the meeting. “Thank you, Deputy Milei, for an interesting discussion about Argentina and the United States,” he posted.
Last week, the presidential candidate Myriam Bregman for the Frente de Izquierda y los Trabajadores, rejected Stanley’s invitation.
“We do not believe that those of us who are presidential candidates in our country should debate our proposals with diplomatic representatives of other countries,” she wrote. “We believe that this is an elementary sovereign position. Presidential candidates in your country do not meet to discuss their proposals with the Argentine ambassador.”
She stressed that her party “questions the economic and political interference” of the United States in Argentina.
The Herald reached out to a spokesperson for Sergio Massa, the ruling coalition’s presidential candidate, on whether he is planning to meet Stanley. However, they did not immediately respond.
