  1. Oh, he will be hitting Europe in many ways, unfortunately some will have dramatic impacts in Europe.

    Brazil is already suffering from some of Bolsonaro radical measures.

  2. honestly argentina has been circling the drain for a very long time so might as well try something completely out there

    can’t get much worse for them anyway

  3. Will he really introduce the dollar as the official currency? How will that even work? Does he have the reserves for that assuming US won’t officially get involved i suppose

  4. Argentina has been on an airplane with dead engines for decades, slowly gliding down. Now they just opened the door and jumped out without a parachute.

    Bold move Cotton!

  5. Never negotiate with children or terrorists……or lads that bring a chainsaw everywhere

  6. This guy isn’t really hostile at all to Europe. He regularly praises Scandinavian capitalist societies for example, in contradiction to say Trump’s scando-socialist rhetoric crap. He likes capitalism and free market, which many European governments also do.

    He seems genuinely libertarian as opposed to alt-right authoritarian, and most definitely not protectionist. It also cannot be understated how much of a disaster Peronist economics have wreaked on Argentina’s economy for generations.

  7. From one extreme to another. Perhaps this is exactly what is needed to correct and balance out the clustrefuck peronism created. Perhaps it will make the dumpsterfire even worse. We’ll see.

  8. Oh, don’t worry, once he bankrupts Argentina for the 94th time, they won’t be picky about the terms of the trade deal.

    Besides, considering his nostalgia for the dictatorship of the generals, we will have to negotiate this trade deal with Argentina’s new owners, the Brits /s

  9. In his first speech after the election victory he emphasised several times that he is pro free trade and is willing to work with other liberal countries.

    I guess there is much to disagree with this man but just in terms of free trade, Brazil’s Lula seems to be the far greater obstacle.

  10. Will Argentina ever be stable and strong and prosperous again?

  11. Argentina is like a person whose arm has been broken for years. Doctors keep saying that the arm needs to be set and splinted, but Argentina refuses as the arm gets worse and worse. Milei’s solution: amputate the arm. It’ll hurt like hell, and it might fix the immediate problem, but you’re still left with just one arm.

  12. Good luck explaining to Milei that to sell food products (for example) directly in the EU markets they have to comply with health and quality regulations. And there cannot be any special unilateral treaty that can bypass this.

  13. He looks like an 80’s movie villain. I’m sure this will end well.

  14. Boom di richieste di passaporti italiani in Argentina, sicuro

  15. I don’t think there is any need for any realistic hope.

  16. This guy seems like a true nutjob. Good luck to Argentina, I hope this guy actually leads y’all in the right direction, but I doubt it. I personally don’t trust someone who has a dictatorship sympathizer as his VP
