Milei sings 'Burning Love' and laughs with Orban and Infantino in the USA amid general strike in Argentina; VIDEO
Amid a general strike in Argentina, President Javier Milei is seen in a light-hearted video singing 'Burning Love' with Viktor Orbán and Gianni Infantino in the USA.
On a day marked by tension and a general strike in Argentina, President Javier Milei was captured in a video having a jovial moment where he sang 'Burning Love', an Elvis Presley hit, alongside Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The event took place in the United States while Milei was attending the first meeting of the Peace Council established by Donald Trump on Thursday, October 19, amidst ongoing protests against labor reform proposals in Argentina.
The singing incident occurred at a gathering hosted by Trump, where the song played through the event's sound system. Milei, jokingly imitating Elvis, took to the microphone next to Orbán, engaging in a carefree display that drew approving gestures from Infantino, who also seemed to enjoy the entertaining moment. This scene starkly contrasted with the situation in Argentina, where Milei is facing significant public backlash for his controversial labor reform plans, which are currently under debate in Congress.
During his visit, Milei not only participated in discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump but was also commended by Trump in his speech. Reports from AFP indicated that Milei offered Argentine troops to assist with international peacekeeping efforts, further highlighting his administration's ambitions on the global stage even as dissent grows at home regarding his economic and labor policies.
