Mr Milei’s rival, economy minister Sergio Massa, called him to concede.
Former US President Donald Trump congratulated Mr Milei on his victory, saying he would “Make Argentina Great Again!”.
The election comes at a difficult time for Argentina with rising inflation and an economy in crisis on peoples’ minds.
Mr Milei’s proposals, which included detonating the central bank, won support with voters desperate for change…
And then of course beginning in 1945 the ratlines assured the freedom of many nazi war criminals in Argentina. There are plenty of reasons for Trump to like Argentina during the first half of the 20th century.
Juan Peron loves him some Nazi war criminals.
