Former President of the United States, Donald Trump, congratulated Javier Milei after his victory in the second round of the presidential elections in Argentina this Sunday (19).
“Congratulations to Javier Milei on his excellent candidacy for president of Argentina. The whole world was watching! I’m very proud of you. You will change your country and truly make Argentina great again,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
In the text, the Republican made reference to his campaign motto “Make America Great Again”.
Economist Javier Milei (La Libertad Avanza), 53 years old, was elected president of Argentina this Sunday.
In the second round, he surpassed the government candidate and current Economy Minister, Sergio Massa (Union por la Patria), who had won the first round on October 22.
At 9:21 pm, with 97.4% of the votes counted, Milei had 55.76% of the votes against 44.23% for Massa, who admitted defeat even before the first partial was announced.
Milei will take office on December 10th.
Second place in the first round, Milei managed to reverse the situation this Sunday. A comeback in the second round was a feat that had only been achieved in 2015 by Mauricio Macri.
