Argentine President Javier Milei has urged his ally, US President Donald Trump, to come out of the United States midterm elections in a stronger position, calling the vote important for the West as a whole.<\/p>\n

Milei made the appeal on Wednesday at a Hispanic Heritage gala in Washington, where a Hispanic association gave him an award, ahead of November\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n

Conservatives, he said, \u201ccannot give an inch in our reconquest of the hemisphere\u201d, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).<\/p>\n

Milei flew into the US capital on Wednesday for meetings with investors and the gala. He is due to address the US Chamber of Commerce on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Milei\u2019s lifeline<\/h2>\n

Trump firmly backed<\/a> Milei a year ago, when his government also faced crucial legislative elections. He has called Milei his \u201cfavorite president\u201d.<\/p>\n

That backing, together with a currency swap agreement with the US Treasury, helped Milei to success in those polls, analysts have argued.<\/p>\n

The centrepiece of the package, announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, was a $20bn swap with Argentina\u2019s central bank, in which the US exchanged dollars for pesos. The swap came shortly after Milei\u2019s party lost a key provincial election.<\/p>\n

Trump made clear at the time that the support<\/a> hinged on a Milei victory. \u201cI\u2019m with this man because his philosophy is correct,\u201d he said ahead of a White House lunch with the Argentine leader. \u201cIf he wins, we\u2019re staying with him. And if he doesn\u2019t win, we\u2019re gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump also warned that the US would not be \u201cgenerous\u201d if Milei lost. The remarks unsettled Argentine markets, with the main stock index giving up earlier gains and falling about 2 percent, The Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n

The package drew criticism in the US. Democratic lawmakers accused Trump of prioritising a foreign bailout while the US government was shut down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
