Imitating, as popular wisdom says, it is the most sincere way of compliment, and Argentine president Javier Milei has evidenced his admiration for Donald Trump, borrowing several points of his agenda.
On Wednesday, Argentina announced, after the United States did, that it will retire from the World Health Organization (WHO), in an echo of repeated Trump complaints about what he described as mismanagement by that organism of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Andrea OelsnerDirector of the Political Science and International Relations career of the University of San Andrésin Buenos Aires, he described Argentina’s departure from WHO as “Another sign“From the country’s return to the policy led by former president Carlos Menem, in the 1990s after the dictatorship,”Automatic alignment”With the United States.
Oelsner He added that the statement of Milei that WHO “intervenes“Argentina’s sovereignty serves”To approach Trump”
We illustrate here another five aspects in which the Argentine president, self-demonstrating “anarco-capitalist” follows the steps of the US president:
Climate skeptic
Like Trump, who has insisted on the phrase: “Drill, Baby, Drill!” (“Perfora, love, perforate!”) To promote oil exploitation, Milei is a skeptic of global warming and in his presidential campaign he said that “those policies that blame the human being of climate change are false.”
After Trump’s re -election in November, Argentina He retired from UN climatic conversations in Azerbaijan, which generated fears that Milei He could follow Trump with his withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on the reduction of carbon emissions.
This coincided with a visit from Milei to Trump in his residence in Mar-a-Lago, the first of a foreign leader to the Republican after his electoral victory.
MileiHowever, he signed a statement by the G20 leaders at the Rio Summit at the end of November recognizing the need to “substantially increase climatic financing”
War against ideology “Woke”
As Trump, Milei has manifested against the so -called “woke ideology” (progressive), in fact, in the Global Economic Forum in Davos said that “It is the great epidemic in our time (…) the cancer that must be removed”
He also criticized what calls “Gender ideology“By affirming that your”more extreme versions“They constitute”Child abuse”
He also prohibited the inclusive language of gender in state agencies and his government works on a bill to prohibit gender in identity documents such as X.
In his investment on January 20, Trump also said that his government would only recognize two genres: male and female.
He also restricted gender transition procedures for children under 19 and outlawed the transgender people of the army.
Crazy by Musk
Milei and Trump share a deep admiration for billionaire daring Elon Musk, with Milei praising Trump’s advisor as “Thomas Edison of the 21st Century”
TrumpFor its part, it has given the Chief of Tesla and Spacex Extraordinary Powers as head of a new department in charge of cutting federal expenditure.
Musk, in return, has defended the “chainsaw“From Milei in her economic policy and declared that Argentina is”experimenting”Since Milei is president.
Attacks in social networks
Both Trump and Milei have been accused of entertaining hate speech and intolerance by insulting critics and opponents on social networks.
Milei has labeled economists who have criticized their policies as “Econochantas“(Importers), to the trade unionists”GARCAS“(Scammers) already political opponents of”Mandriles“,”Rats” and “parasites”
Like Trump, he also clues to the media and critics of “corrupt”, A language that reminds Trump’s promise in his first government of”Drain the swamp”, His expression to say that he would end Washington’s elites.
Ferreo support to Israel
Milei has expressed a deep interest in Judaism, has studied the writings of his religion and is a staunch defender of Israel.
During a visit to Israel last year, he announced plans to transfer the Argentine Embassy of Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, echoing Trump’s decision in 2017 to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state.
He has also compared Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 on Israeli soil with the Holocaust.
