US ambassador praises Milei, says Latin America is ‘waking up’
The U.S. ambassador to Argentina, Peter Lamelas, used his first extensive interview since arriving in Buenos Aires to deliver a clear political and economic message: Washington is firmly aligned with President Javier Milei’s government and sees Argentina as a key partner in a broader regional shift away from left-wing politics and toward pro-market conservatism.
Speaking with Infobae a month and a half after taking up his post, Lamelas emphasized that U.S. support for Milei goes beyond personal affinity between leaders.
“This is more than a personal relationship,” he said, referring to the bond between President Donald Trump and the Argentine president. “We share the same Western values. We believe in democracy and freedom.”
