Boris met up with Argentine President and libertarian hero Javier Milei last night. Quite the way to keep up the book tour…

Great conversation with @JMilei in Buenos Aires. Truly uplifting to hear his defence of freedom, capitalism, open markets and democracy worldwide. pic.twitter.com/xwTmcsVjwo

Milei is locked in a battle with Congress and the unions to unleash the Argentine economy. Lots to chat about…

UPDATE: MercoPress writes up the visit:

“During Monday’s encounter, Johnson gave Milei a copy of his latest book, in which he confesses to having evaluated ‘a water raid’ in the Netherlands to steal doses of AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccines. Johnson’s book went on sale in Great Britain last Thursday and will be available in the rest of the world in the coming weeks.

After a meeting lasting more than an hour, Johnson appeared on the Casa Rosada balcony to greet bypassers.

During their encounter, Milei recalled his teenage years’ band in which he sang cover versions of Rolling Stones songs, impersonating Jagger both in voice and dancing. At the same time, the Malvinas issue was never addressed, according to Casa Rosada sources.”
