Argentina's libertarian President, Javier Milei, opened Congress with a speech praising his government's achievements and praising his relationship with American President Donald Trump. The speech followed a series of legislative victories, including labor reform, the Mercosur-European Union trade agreement, and initial approval of a glacier protection law. Milei's main points included Argentina's potential for exporting raw materials and energy, its strategic location, and the need to maintain a strong relationship with the United States. Throughout the speech, Milei called opposition lawmakers corrupt and thieves, and also took aim at former leftist President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
