"Controversial Argentine President Milei Sparks Global Reactions"

The victory of Argentina's libertarian President-elect Javier Milei in the recent runoff election has elicited mixed reactions globally. While some Latin American leftists have expressed hostility towards Milei, others have offered tentative support. China has pledged to work with him despite his critical comments. Milei's win signifies a shift away from the center-left Peronist government. Leaders such as Mexico's President Lopez Obrador and Bolivia's former President Evo Morales have expressed skepticism, while Chile's President Gabriel Boric and Brazil's President Lula da Silva have extended their best wishes. Russian President Putin and China's foreign ministry have taken a diplomatic approach. Milei has garnered support from right-wing populists, including former US President Trump and former Brazilian President Bolsonaro.
