Javier Milei excitedly leaps into Donald Trump's arms during first in-person meeting

Argentina President Javier Milei could not contain his excitement after meeting his "MAGA" idol former US president Donald Trump for the first time.

The two world leaders exchanged greetings at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland on Saturday.

Trump playfully modified his famous MAGA slogan to "Make Argentina great again" as he shook hands with Milei.
Milei, a Libertarian leader, responded with his own campaign slogan, "Viva la libertad, carajo!" (Long live freedom, damn it!).

The interaction highlighted the camaraderie between the two as the South American leader thanked Trump for supporting his presidency.

"It's a great honour for me," the beaming South American leader told Trump.

"I am very happy. You are very generous to me. Thank you very much."

I've never seen another politician genuinely fan-boy for another politician the way Milei did. It's enough to make a grown man cry and it's okay.

Now that is something you do not see often. Genuine behaviour.

Javier Milei has such a great presence. A man of the people. Not polished or standoffish but friendly & warm.

That's moving how much he sees Trump as his hero. The love and enthusiasm pouring from his face was so genuine. Something Biden could never inspire in anyone
