Trump and Milei: An ideological match, but can they work together?

As Donald Trump prepares to assume power for a second term Monday, avowed admirer Javier Milei of Argentina has his sights set on becoming the US president's man in Latin America.

But while the duo have much in common, analysts do not clearly see what Milei stands to gain politically from a close friendship with his ideological idol.

Self-declared "anarcho-capitalist" Milei was the first foreign leader to visit Trump at his Mar-a-Lago Florida estate after the Republican's November US election victory.
