'Woke global left is starting to crumble': Javier Milei hails US as ‘beacon of light’ at WEF 2026

Argentina President Javier Milei hailed US President Donald Trump’s leadership, defended free-market capitalism and denounced socialism in an unusually subdued speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday. Milei, widely seen as Trump’s main ally in Latin America, emphasised his close relationship with Washington and offered a defence of “Judeo-Christian values.” Noting the regional right-wing shift in the wider region, he asserted that “America will be the beacon of light that reignites the whole of the West” in the years to come. In his third appearance in Davos, Milei recalled that in 2024 he warned that the West was “in danger,” and that in 2025 he said various international organisations were promoting “a set of socialist policies, elegantly dressed up to deceive people.” #Milei #Davos #worldeconomicforum #America #WesternValues ► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
