Milei’s Leadership Examined: Forecasting Potential Shifts in Argentina’s Foreign Policy
Javier Milei’s election as President of Argentina marks a significant political turn due to his libertarian stance and proposals for radical economic reform. His personality traits suggest he will be a hands-on leader, heavily involved in policy decisions, with a tendency to micromanage rather than delegate. His analytical nature could help him address complex issues but might also lead to overthinking and slow decision-making. Milei’s inherent distrust may cause tension in international relations and lead to an unpredictable foreign policy.
