Javier Millán fantasizes about driving a Cybertruck through Buenos Aires' streets—a vehicle painted in black with a golden lion emblazoned on it. Or, maybe, driving an Italian car.
"That must be absolutely awesome!" said the Argentinian president during an interview with Bloomberg recently.
But if Argentines want to buy Chinese cars, Milley won’t stop them. “They can buy cars wherever they want. What right do I have to say anything?” he said in New York on Thursday. “What Argentines buy is their own business.”
Mila was a stern critic of China, but since her election in 2023, her tone towards China has softened. At the same time, China is approaching the stage where it will become Argentina's most important trading partner, surpassing Brazil.
This is partly due to the trade flows of commodities such as soybeans, but it is also reflected in the increasing number of BYD cars being produced on Argentine roads. This Chinese automotive giant is not allowed to sell cars in the United States, while President Trump, whom Michelle adores, is seeking to protect American domestic automakers.
Self-proclaimed "liberal" Milley stated that he would not take this path. However, he insisted that he would not criticize the President due to this policy.
I cannot offer advice to other states' governors or presidents of the United States because I do not have a complete understanding of their situation, nor their limitations. If you are curious about my views on Trump, then he is an exceptionally competent president.
Mila also visited Musk at Tesla's headquarters in Texas. According to him, he might not have to wait much longer before buying a cyborg pickup truck, further reinforcing his "Batman image." According to the Buenos Aires Herald, this American automaker has been preparing to enter the Argentine market, potentially making its debut next year.
