The Argentine government announced that President Javier Milei will participate in the inaugural meeting of the 'Board of Peace' in Washington, D.C., scheduled for November 19. This decision has led him to cancel his previously planned trip to Miami, which was set for earlier this week. Officials stated that the timing of the Washington trip necessitated a focus on local engagements.

The presidency clarified that due to the proximity of the Washington trip, President Milei opted for a more streamlined agenda, prioritizing local matters instead of attending activities abroad. Consequently, the Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger, will represent Argentina at the previously scheduled Miami events, while Milei will contribute virtually from Argentina.

This development indicates a significant shift in Milei's diplomatic engagements as he focuses on key international meetings rather than attending regional ones. The decision may reflect broader priorities in his administration as he seeks to solidify Argentina's position in international diplomacy, particularly in relations with the U.S. during these critical times.
