Argentine President-elect Javier Milley will meet with President Joe Biden’s national security adviser in Washington on Tuesday, the White House said.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters that Miley would meet with White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan and other administration officials.
Biden, who will attend a memorial service for former first lady Rosalynn Carter on Tuesday before traveling to Colorado, will not meet with Miley, according to the Associated Press.
The US Treasury Department said Miley’s economic policy advisers will meet with senior department officials on Tuesday. The meeting is expected to focus on the economic policy priorities of the incoming Miley administration.
“We want to continue to look for ways to cooperate with Argentina,” Kirby said.
“Argentina is a healthy and vibrant partner in this hemisphere on many, many issues. And so we’re looking forward to obviously hearing what the president-elect’s ideas are and where he wants to go on policy issues and making sure that we have a chance to keep that channel of communication open.”
