Milei in Davos: 'America will be the beacon of light that will reignite the entire West'

Socialism "always ends badly, horribly badly," Milei emphasized, referring to the "aberrant damage" it caused in Venezuela with the "establishment of a bloody narco-dictatorship whose terrorist tentacles spread throughout our continent."

The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, Donald Trump's main ally in Latin America, lashed out against socialism in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. In addition, the president assured that "America will be the beacon of light that will reignite the entire West."

In his third participation in Davos, Milei recalled that in 2024 he said that the West was in danger and in 2025 he said that different international organizations were promoting "a set of socialist policies elegantly tucked away to deceive people."

Socialism "always ends badly, [really] badly," Milei emphasized, referring to the "aberrant damage" it caused in Venezuela with the "establishment of a bloody narco-dictatorship whose terrorist tentacles spread throughout our continent."

But now, "the world has begun to wake up. The best proof of this is what is happening in America with the rebirth of the ideas of freedom, therefore America will be the beacon of light that will reignite the entire West," the president declared.

Milei at Peace Council signing

On Thursday, the Argentine president will participate in the signing ceremony of the Peace Council, created by Trump initially to oversee the post-war reconstruction of Gaza.


The main focus of the president's speech is "proving" that "free enterprise capitalism" is"fair" and "efficient," and pointing out that it is necessary for states to intervene less in the economy.

"Politicians need to stop screwing over those who are making the world better," Milei said.
