Lara Trump gives an example to the Milei government at a summit of conservative leaders

Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of the president-elect of the United States Donald Trump and a leader of the Republican party, pointed out on Wednesday that Argentina has become a beacon for freedom in the world and announced that her father-in-law will apply the chainsaw to the Washington bureaucracy to the just as the far-right Javier Milei did in the South American country.

Trump presented at the opening of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a forum of right-wing leaders that emerged in the United States and that for the first time deliberates in Buenos Aires with the participation of Milei, former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro and the leader of Vox of Spain, Santiago Abascal, among others.

“Argentina shows the world what is possible,” said Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump. “With the United States they are together, two nations ready to get rid of the policies of failure. “Two peoples united in the fight for freedom.”

The leader also highlighted the State adjustment plan that has been carried out Milei in his first year of government and said that it will serve as inspiration for the modernization that magnate Elon Musk will undertake as head of the new US Department of Government Efficiency.

“Milei eliminated dozens of government agencies and official dependencies and laid off dozens of public employees. In the United States we now have Elon Musk… we are going to do the same. Let’s throw this bureaucracy out the window. As Trump says ‘you’re fired,’” added the president-elect’s daughter-in-law. “Let’s make Argentina and America great again,” he concluded.

In what he defined as the “largest adjustment in history,” Milei stopped monetary issuance, eliminated ministries, fired thousands of public employees, cut subsidies and stopped public works, among other measures, to end a large fiscal deficit that inherited from the previous center-left populist administration and which allowed it to slow inflation to 2.7% monthly in October, the lowest measurement in the last three years.

Meanwhile, Bolsonaro sent a recorded message because the Brazilian justice system withheld his passport within the framework of the judicial process he faces for the attempted coup d’état in January 2023.

“It is a persecution with this story of the coup. That didn’t happen. It’s not true, I always played within the rules. I hope this is clarified,” said the former far-right president, who also had words of praise for Milei.

“He showed the world that he came to change Argentina,” he noted. “My congratulations for the economy, for the measures it took. “Argentina is a country that projects itself towards the world.”

At the same time, he expressed confidence that Trump’s arrival to power will contribute to his cause and regretted that he will not be able to attend his inauguration until justice returns his passport.

“We are going to win when Trump arrives, freedom will prevail in the rest of America,” Bolsonaro concluded.

For his part, the Spanish Abascal also described the electoral victories of Milei and Trump as “two important victories for the free world” and said that now it is the turn to “contribute from Europe.”

“Patriotic and anti-globalist forces are achieving great victories in the European Union. “We are living in a time of fortune and opportunity to stop globalism and socialism,” said the Spanish leader.

Milei will be in charge of closing the event at 2200 GMT.
