Readers of Le Monde got what most readers got, this week, about Argentinian President Javier Milei: “In Paris, Argentinian President Javier Milei seeks investors to support his country’s struggling economy.” But is that it? Is that all there is?
No.
The big story a week or so ago was Milei’s statements about the United Nations. Breitbart’s headline is worth clicking on: “Javier Milei Blasts U.N. as ‘Useless,’ ‘Arrogant Parasites’ at General Assembly.”
Milei organized his new condemnation of the United Nations into three separate categories: what the U.N. “should have done but did not,” what “should not have done, but did anyway,” and comments on the United Nations’ stance on the advance of artificial intelligence. President Milei also condemned the Islamic regime of Iran over its attacks against Israel, emphasizing that Argentina is still demanding justice over the two terrorists attacks the country suffered in the 1990s from Iran through its proxy terror group, Hezbollah.
The New York Times has something to say, and it may have been written by a human: “As A.I. Fears Grow, President Milei Pitches Argentina as a Rules-Free Haven.”
“On artificial intelligence, Argentina will stand at the forefront of freedom,” Mr. Milei told the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week, while asserting the country’s “commitment to not preemptively regulate A.I.”
Mr. Milei, who has proposed creating “nonhuman corporations” run by A.I. agents, is seeking to lure foreign investments to build data centers in Patagonia. He also relentlessly posts A.I.-generated content on social media.
Reuters takes a step back and looks at the larger economic picture: “Argentina announces citizenship-by-investment program.”
Argentina will launch South America’s first citizenship-by-investment program, Economy Minister Luis Caputo said on X on Friday.
Applications will open in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will offer citizenship through a non-refundable contribution of $350,000 or the purchase of an $800,000 public bond, the Economy Ministry said in a statement.
Maybe it is time to move to Patagonia? Make it a Giant move.
