President Javier Milei has decided to suspend his trip to the United States to take part in the Independence Day celebrations on July 4, to which he had been invited by the Donald Trump administration.
Government sources told the Herald‘s sister publication Ámbito that Milei will instead prioritize his domestic agenda, particularly Argentina’s Independence Day commemorations next week.
One reason for the change of plans is that the libertarian leader had also intended to attend a gathering of business leaders and investors in Sun Valley, which was originally scheduled for this week but has since been postponed.
Argentina marks its Independence Day on July 9, commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence from Spain in 1816.
Milei now plans to attend on July 8 the annual Independence Day vigil in Tucumán, where the declaration was signed. He is also scheduled to attend a religious service at the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral on July 9.
