The Government hastened the swearing-in of the new Chancellor, Gerardo Wertheinawaiting the results of the elections in the United States. In Casa Rosada they follow the elections closely while they aspire to a victory for donald trumpsomething they consider “would be very beneficial for the country” and could also have a positive impact on the relationship with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Although in Balcarce 50 they admit that Kamala Harris is not Javier Milei’s candidateofficials in direct dialogue with the president consider that andhe link with the US “will not be altered” if the female figure wins the majority of the votes.
Meanwhile, It is not ruled out that the head of state travels in the event of Trump’s possible assumption of power. Whoever wins the electoral contest, he or she must take office on January 20.
Previously, Milei and Werthein will lead the reception in Argentina of two international figures: Emmanuel Macron and Giorgia Meloni, who will visit the country the third week of November.
Assuming a victory for the former US president, January would not be the first meeting with Milei. On February 24, both politicians met for the first time, in a brief meeting they held within the framework of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, where the Argentine president was a speaker. In addition, they maintained both exchanges on social networks.
The future of the Chancellery
Although the former ambassador to North American soil was expected to remain in that country until the elections were over, Werthein brought forward his return to meet Milei on Sunday at Quinta de Olivos. There they finalized the details of the swearing-in ceremony that will take place this afternoon, starting at 6:30 p.m.
In case there were any doubts, the President referred this Monday to the departure of Diana Mondino from the Foreign Ministry, after voting in favor of lifting the economic blockade of Cuba within the framework of the United Nations General Assembly. “I had defined that my alignment in the world was with the United States and Israel, we had to be there, not somewhere else”he remarked in statements to Canal Magazine while confirming that there will be a purge “of those responsible” in the San Martín Palace.
According to Executive sources, at Sunday’s meeting Milei asked Werthein to align foreign policy with “the interests of freedom.” “Foreign policy is set by the President”they remarked. The new Chancellor has already started his work and held a meeting with his vice president for this purpose, Eduardo Bustamante.
The position of ambassador to the United States is still vacant. Although in La Libertad Avanza they seek to fill it with “a cigar”, in the PRO they have already slipped in possible proper names. In this sense, on Tuesday the former president Mauricio Macri will reappear in public at an event organized by the ABECEB Forum in Puerto Madero, and it is not ruled out that he will also suggest a candidate in that area.
