President Javier Milei of Argentina is set to travel to Washington on Wednesday to attend the inaugural meeting of the 'Peace Board' established by Donald Trump, aimed at the governance and reconstruction of Gaza. The summit will gather 27 leaders, although notable European leaders are absent, reflecting skepticism about Trump's true intentions regarding the project. Milei's trip comes at a turbulent time domestically, with significant debates in Congress over labor reform and a general strike scheduled for Thursday.

This will mark Milei's 14th visit to the United States, but it will be a brief one, as he is expected to return shortly after the meeting. He will be accompanied by his sister Karina and Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, indicating the importance he places on this diplomatic venture. The meeting will take place at the glass-walled headquarters of the Peace Institute, an organization recently rebranded by Trump, which has raised questions about the actual effectiveness of the initiative given the political context.

The implications of Milei's participation in this summit could be significant for Argentina's international relations, especially with the United States under the current administration. The country's contribution to the project may also reflect its stance on broader geopolitical issues, particularly in relation to the Middle East, and could influence Argentina's relationships with other nations, especially European ones, who express skepticism over Trump's diplomatic endeavors.
