Bukele and Milei Meet: Zero-Deficit Budgets, Security, and Policy Discussed

The presidents of Argentina and El Salvador, Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele, met on Monday in Buenos Aires to discuss several issues concerning the mutual problems of their countries. The meeting, attended by members of both cabinets, covered topics such as security, debt issuance, and political matters. According to local sources, Bukele told Milei that when he took office, he had just one deputy in Congress, and incumbents blocked all of his initiatives. Meanwhile, Milei recommended that Bukele apply the same measures he had implemented in Argentina to achieve a “zero-debt” budget. “It was an excellent meeting, very dynamic. The similarities between the two presidents were discussed,” said attendees of the meeting.
