Kast and Milei push alliance amid domestic challenges
José Antonio Kast’s first foreign trip as president of Chile to Buenos Aires on 6 April was designed to showcase the right-wing alliance that he has forged with Argentina’s President Javier Milei and that he hopes to advance across South America. There were bear hugs and mutual praise, wreath-laying, and talk of enormous potential for cooperation between the two nations. And there were a few concrete steps to break down boundaries in mining and border controls. But the mood was visibly more subdued than that at their last meeting in December.
