He won 56% of the vote against the 44% that Argentines voted for Economy Minister Sergio Masa. Millais promised Argentina economic "shock therapy" aimed at correcting decades of ineffective policies. In particular, he proposed dollarization of the economy, privatization and refusal of cooperation with China, Brazil and Russia in favor of the USA. He also opposes Argentinaʼs entry into BRICS. In addition, Miley called Russian President Vladimir Putin an "autocrat."
  • In Argentina, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi met with the leaders of Paraguay, Uruguay and Ecuador. Zelensky invited all three presidents to visit Ukraine and come to Switzerland in January 2024 for the next round of negotiations on the Ukrainian Peace Formula.
