Award and Speech in Queens
President Javier Milei was given the Ohev Yisrael award by Yeshiva Darchei Torah, a religious educational institution located in Queens, New York. The recognition cited his global leadership in defending the Jewish people. During the visit, Milei delivered a speech to the school community, but officials declined to disclose what he said. The event had been on his schedule since Saturday, when his agenda for the international trip became public.[S1][S2]
Meetings with Liberal Economists
After the ceremony in Queens, Milei continued with work meetings focused on liberal economic thought. At 7:00 p.m. local time, he met with Roberto Salinas, a Mexican economist, analyst, and academic. Later, at 8:30 p.m., he held a meeting with American economist Xavier Sala i Martín. Both encounters were part of his agenda in the United States.[S1][S2]
Upcoming UN General Debate Address
The central event of Milei's international tour is scheduled for Wednesday at 12:00, when he will speak before the United Nations General Debate. According to official sources, he plans to emphasize that the UN should act as a guarantor of peace processes and reduce the bureaucratic structure it has accumulated in recent years. He will also reiterate his opposition to increased regulation of strategic economic sectors, particularly artificial intelligence, arguing that such rules would limit innovation and investment. As part of his intervention, Milei will review key concepts from his previous speeches before international bodies.[S1][S2]
