Argentine President Javier Milei is traveling to the U.S. this week for meetings with tech CEOs including Apple's Tim Cook, Google's Sundar Pichai and Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Argentina's President Javier Milei is traveling to the U.S. to meet with CEOs from major U.S. tech firms including Google, Meta, Apple and OpenAI, according to an announcement from his spokesman Manuel Adorni on Monday. Milei, a libertarian who assumed office in December after a surprise election win, is scheduled to depart from Argentina on Monday and is slated to meet Tuesday evening with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Google Argentina referred FOX Business to the president's schedule and declined to offer an additional comment. Apple, Meta and OpenAI did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Milei, a self-described "anarcho-capitalist," won office on a platform that involved deep government spending cuts as a means of curbing inflation, which had risen above 100% for most of 2023 and reached 254% in January 2024.
The Argentine president has courted investment from U.S. companies in the tech sector and other industries as he looks to overhaul Argentina's economy. Milei's trip to the Bay Area comes after an April visit to Texas, where he was hosted by Tesla CEO Elon Musk at the electric vehicle-maker's headquarters in Austin.
