Argentina's Milei Says He Still Backs Venezuela’s Machado

Javier Milei defended Argentina's economic ties with China, saying his country had little choice but to pursue trade with Beijing.

Milei is seeking a deal with the US while also pursuing trade with China, and said his plan is to open Argentina's economy to the European Union, the US, and China.

Milei described China as a "great trading partner" and said Argentina's exports to China rose in 2025, with the country being Argentina's second-largest trading partner after Brazil.

That pragmatic streak was on show during his interview at the Swiss Alpine resort, in which he declined to criticize Trump’s apparent freezing out of Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado — whom he called a friend — while also avoiding the chance to find fault with Argentina’s larger neighbor Brazil under leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
