Argentine President Javier Milei's unconventional foreign policy approach has raised eyebrows as he snubbed leaders and attended opposition rallies during international visits. Despite Milei's eccentric travel agenda, his foreign minister, Diana Mondino, focuses on mutual interests with the US, including expanding Argentina's food and clean energy output. Milei plans to meet with tech giants like Mark Zuckerberg in Silicon Valley to attract investments for Argentina's AI development.

The agenda for Javier Milei’s international travel tends to be quirky and ideological, but his foreign minister keeps her eye on the ball and the US has rightly focused on the many areas of mutual interest, including expanding Argentina’s food and clean energy output. https://t.co/DlpTyvGTEb

Overseas, Milei is a far-right icon, I told @business. “The question is whether Milei’s dogmatic policy preferences risk alienating natural allies in the West who are otherwise eager to support Argentina’s foreign policy realignment and its sensible economic reform program.” https://t.co/durdzKUvQB
“Milei’s presidential travel is highly eccentric,” I told @business. “His agenda is oftentimes personal, misses opportunities to woo investors, and irritates — or at least befuddles — foreign leaders.” https://t.co/QmBT9vP8g9
For most heads of state, it’d be unthinkable to visit another nation, skip meeting its leader and instead attend an opposition rally. But for Milei, it is becoming an increasingly normal way to conduct foreign policy. Our latest @business (gift link!) https://t.co/RgTBeZdQOg
