President Trump met with Argentine President Javier Milei at the White House on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, ahead of the International Monetary Fund meetings in Washington. The meeting focused on Milei’s economic reforms and ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation between the United States and Argentina.
During their discussion, Trump highlighted Milei’s groundbreaking economic policies and expressed interest in deepening collaboration. He likewise extended an invitation for Milei to visit the White House in the coming months.
The encounter comes amid heightened security concerns following an alleged assassination attempt against Trump earlier in Washington. Milei publicly condemned the attack, linking it to what he described as the “violent rhetoric of the left,” and called for urgent global condemnation of such acts.
Secret Service agents evacuated Trump from a White House correspondents’ dinner after reports of gunfire nearby. Officials later confirmed the incident as an attempted attack, prompting renewed scrutiny of political rhetoric and security protocols.
Milei’s remarks drew international attention, with several global leaders echoing calls for restraint and condemning violence in political discourse. The White House meeting underscored ongoing diplomatic engagement despite domestic tensions in both countries.
