Trump’s congratulations to the chainsaw man in the midst of Argentina’s economic crisis! – Mehr news agency RCO News Agency

According to RCO News Agency, quoted by France 24, US President Donald Trump congratulated Javier Milli, his Argentinian counterpart, on his victory in the country’s mid-term elections.

Trump wrote in “Truth Social”, his social network: Congratulations to President Javier Milli for his decisive victory in Argentina. He does a great job! The people of Argentina justified our trust in him.

The “Freedom Progress” party led by Mili in Buenos Aires won 41.5 percent of the votes and won 64 seats in the House of Representatives at the national level. Earlier, this party had only 37 seats.

Milli said in his victory speech: “The people of Argentina have shown that they do not want to return to the failed model of the past.” The mid-term elections of the Argentine Congress were held yesterday.

According to analysts, the result not only strengthens the government’s political position against the opposition, but also increases Milli’s ability to push through the fiscal austerity program.

This election was the first national test of Milli’s popularity since he came to power in 2023; When he promised to drastically reduce government spending and prune the government using a (hypothetical) “chainsaw”. Milli also displayed a real chainsaw in one of his election rallies!

The radical president of Argentina won yesterday’s election while Argentina is struggling with political and economic crises, and in addition, accusations have been raised that his ally, Trump, is interfering in the country’s internal affairs.

Although Milli has been successful in curbing inflation, in recent months, the 55-year-old celebrity and former TV actress has been grappling with a series of crises, including corruption scandals involving Karina Milli, her sister, who is also her chief of staff, and another close ally who was linked to a drug trafficker, as well as the devaluation of Argentina’s peso.

Milli is one of Trump’s allies in Latin America, and Washington has promised to grant a $40 billion aid package to Argentina to improve its economic situation.
