Among the less noticed changes that Javier Milei has wrought since being elected Argentina’s president last November is a marked improvement in his country’s
relations with Britain,
long frosty over the disputed Falkland Islands. That is good news for America, which is keen to ensure that Argentina’s dalliance with America’s adversaries, China and Russia, does not go too far.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Donald Trump is about to receive Israel’s prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu. Mutual back-slapping over their recent attacks on Iran’s nuclear programme may be more whole-hearted if Mr Trump is able to announce a
ceasefire in Gaza.
But that is not yet a done deal, and even that would be only a first step to peace. |
