Argentinian President Javier Milei stated that the Cuban regime will eventually fall "by sedimentation," during an analysis of the international landscape he conducted while visiting the United States.
In statements to Radio Now from New York, Milei referred to several global conflicts and expressed his expectation that some of them will begin to be resolved in the coming months. In that context, he specifically mentioned Cuba, asserting that the political system of the island could naturally collapse within the international reordering he envisions.
"It is to be expected that the war will be short-lived. At the same time, the United States is working for peace between Ukraine and Russia, while Cuba will inevitably fall," affirmed the Argentine leader during the interview.
Milei also praised the role of U.S. President Donald Trump in diplomatic efforts to curb international conflicts and suggested that this leadership could help resolve tensions in various parts of the world.
The statements were made while Milei is fulfilling an agenda in New York that includes meetings with investors, entrepreneurs, and figures from the international financial sector.
In another event held in Manhattan, the leader once again mentioned Cuba while defending the economic policies implemented by his government since taking office. During the opening of Argentina Week, a forum that brings together entrepreneurs, banks, and investment funds, Milei asserted that his administration prevented the South American country from following the path of collapsed economies in the region.
"When we arrived, we were on the way to becoming Cuba with a stop in Venezuela," he stated to those present, while explaining the fiscal adjustment measures and economic reforms that his administration has implemented.
The president also assured that his government has managed to reverse the inherited economic crisis and guide Argentina towards a free market model without resorting to measures that would affect bank deposits or private property.
Argentina Week, taking place in New York until March 12, brings together Argentine officials and representatives from major international companies with the aim of promoting investments in sectors such as energy, mining, agriculture, and the knowledge economy.
Milei's criticisms of the Cuban political system are not new. The leader has referred to the government of Havana as a dictatorship on several occasions and has advocated for a foreign policy aligned with the United States and Israel against regimes he considers authoritarian.
His comments come at a time when Cuba is experiencing a deep economic and social crisis, characterized by food shortages, frequent power outages, and an unprecedented migration wave in recent decades.
