Argentina’s Milei Fights Alongside Trump Against Gender and DEI

By | March 27, 2025

NEW YORK, March 28 (C-Fam) The Trump administration has in Argentina’s Javier Milei an unexpected ally in fighting globalism, DEI and gender ideology at the international level, and Milei means business.

The Friday Fax has learned that months before Trump’s election, President Javier Milei had already instructed diplomats and other officials who interact with foreign governments and agencies to fight DEI and gender ideology internationally or resign.

“No official of this administration nor any representative of Argentina abroad can welcome or support any proposal, declaration, resolution, or document that promotes violations of the right to life, liberty, and property, or unequal treatment before the law,” Milei said in an official letter addressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Argentina dated October 18, 2024.

Milei’s letter cites the U.S. Declaration of Independence in defense of the fundamental rights to life, liberty, and property, and describes the United Nations Agenda 2030 as “a socialist project to establish a world government that feigns solutions to modern problems by way of attempts against the sovereignty of nation-states.”

He further stated that the foreign policy “doctrine of the new Argentina” will hearken back to the founding principles of the United Nations and hold the international organizations accountable to the essential standard of “cooperation between nations, united in defense of liberty.”

The letter concludes by inviting Argentina’s diplomatic corps to algin with this new doctrine, describing this re-alignment as a “titanic task.”

“The leadership of our country on the global stage as a defender of the republican values of Western democracies will require a diplomatic corps that is committed to liberty and willing to work together to protect national interests,” the letter states. “Those who are not willing to take on the challenges of this new course that we have undertaken in defense of liberty will have to step aside now,” the letter concludes.

Milei’s strong letter was followed by actions in the General Assembly beginning last fall.

As reported by the Friday Fax, Argentina’s diplomats fought alone to defend free speech in several UN resolutions where, in recent years, terms like “misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech” proliferated with support of the Biden administration.

Milei also made reservations on the use of the term “sexual and reproductive health” in UN resolutions. This signals that Miley that has chosen to promote prenatal life internationally, despite political disagreements about abortion in Argentina. Argentina’s Constitution protects life from the moment of conception but has arguably the world’s most progressive abortion law. Argentina’s law uses the gender-neutral “pregnant person” to avoid the sex-specific term mothers, to avoid offending transgender-identifying persons and requires children to be taught that men can become pregnant too. Milei has chosen to use the Constitution as his guide.

And earlier this month, just before the recently concluded Commission on the Status of Women, C-Fam was informed that both the United States and Argentina withdrew from the LGBT Core Group, a controversial group of states that promotes DEI and gender ideology at the United Nations. Both the United States and Argentina were pioneers in promoting the LGBT agenda internationally since the last decade of the twentieth century, and they were among the founding delegations of the LGBT Core group.
