Bloomberg Talks · Argentina President Javier Milei Talks Free Trade and Global Economy · 22 Jan 2026 podcast

When the geopolitical time comes, do you have any doubt as to where Argentina stands?

Well, that's not proven.

I'm president for 47 and a half million Argentines, and I make the decisions that best favor the interests of the Argentine people.

So part of that is the fact that Argentina, which is a very close country, the most close country in the world,

Given its GDP per capita, Argentina should have a trade to GDP ratio of a little over 90%, and it only has 30, strictly speaking, 28, if you want to be accurate.

Consequently, my plan is to open up to the EU

to the United States and to China.

I want an open economy.

And if you look at the weight of the Chinese economy in the world, you will understand that I need to trade with China.

Or look at the evolution of India.

I need to trade with India.

We are ready to sign.

We are working on the fine detail.

When you design policy, and that was the central pillar of my presentation yesterday in my address in Davos, you see, you design based on ethical and moral values.

justify a situation where Argentines, or most Argentines, need to pay more for goods they could get more cheaply.

Because it's false that that also destroys jobs.

That's one of the big lies of Keynesian economists, who are actually ruining the whole planet.

Whatever they touch, they break.

But when you open up the economy, there are products that will be cheaper, and you might lose jobs here, but that lets individuals spend less money.

For example, in Argentina, you used to pay $40 for a T-shirt when it's actually only $5.
