The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, said this Wednesday (28) that the Peace Council created by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, will aim to defend and promote Judeo-Christian values and unite countries that believe in freedom in the face of what he classified as “forces of tyranny”. The statement was made during an official event in Buenos Aires on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
According to Milei, the creation of the body represents a central step towards the formation of a new international articulation aimed at promoting peace.
“Today the world began to recover and regain balance, with the fundamental support of President Trump and the United States”, stated the Argentine president, highlighting that the initiative seeks to guarantee global peace based on Western values.
In his speech, the Argentine president stated that the initiative was created to face a “madness that is already taking on a worrying magnitude”.
Milei also defended unity between countries and leaders aligned with freedom. According to him, “the best way to combat organized evil is through organized good”, which is why he considered it necessary for nations and governments that share these principles to act in a coordinated way against authoritarian regimes.
Milei also stated that the West is facing a process of institutional weakening. As he declared at the event, part of the institutions were “captured by left-wing ideologues”, which, in his assessment, contributed to the loss of moral and political references in recent years.
The Peace Council, created by Trump with the aim of mediating international conflicts, starting with the war between Israel and Hamas, released this week, on its official account on the X network, the list of 26 founding member countries. According to the White House, at least 35 heads of State and Government, including Milei, have already agreed to participate in the organization.
According to information released by the American government, the initiative intends to oversee the implementation of a 20-point plan presented by Trump to seek an end to the conflict in Gaza. The proposal, however, faces resistance from major powers and most European countries, who believe that the new body could weaken the role of the United Nations (UN).
Among the founding countries are Middle Eastern and Western Asian nations such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan and Türkiye; in addition to countries in Central Asia and Southeast Asia, such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Indonesia and Vietnam. From Latin America, Argentina, El Salvador and Paraguay joined, while Egypt and Morocco represent North Africa.
