President Javier Milei will fly to the United States this weekend to attend US president-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington, joining an international guestlist that includes far-right leaders, tech moguls and social media powerhouses.

Trump, 78, will be sworn-in for his second term Monday at a ceremony on Capitol Hill. The inauguration, which will stretch over four days thanks to a long list of diverse protocol activities and celebrations, among them a religious service, will be the Republican leader’s first change to outline his programme for government as president.

Along with Milei and his faithful travelling entourage – made up of Presidential Chief-of-Staff Karina Milei, Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein – at least one other Argentine will be present for the festivities: San Juan Province Governor Marcelo Orrego.

According to reports in local media, Orrego was invited by the US Congress and the invitation is a result of his province’s development of its energy sector.
