"Trump and Milei were the biggest speakers to wrap up the annual Conservative Political Action Conference outside Washington. During their backstage greeting, captured in a video posted by a Trump campaign staffer, Milei shouted 'President!' and pulled Trump in for a close hug before they took pictures together."

"Milei took office in December after running a campaign inspired by Trump, complete with red 'Make Argentina Great Again' hats in a nod to the former president’s own 'Make America Great Again' movement. He was the last of several foreign politicians at CPAC to echo popular Trump themes on issues like migration and the perceived threat of socialism."
