Donald Trump has long praised a particular type of foreign leader — men he describes as tough and strong, even if they're accused of chipping away at democracy. He's now celebrating Argentina's newly elected president, Javier Milei. Trump says Milei will “make Argentina great again.” Milei’s resounding win gives Trump a new potential ally if he wins reelection. It also underscores Trump's enduring influence on global politics in the near-decade since he launched his first White House bid. Milei has promoted unproven theories about election fraud and many of his supporters wore “Make Argentina Great Again” hats during the campaign, echoing Trump's slogan.
