In Buenos Aires, Argentina, Boris Johnson met with the country's right-wing populist leader, Javier Milei, to discuss various topics, including international politics and music. This meeting, which lasted over an hour and a half, was reportedly organized at Johnson's request and took place as he promoted his new memoir, 'Unleashed.' During their conversation, Milei expressed his desire to meet Mick Jagger, the frontman of the Rolling Stones, and Johnson offered to facilitate this meeting. Milei, who won a presidential run-off last November, has controversial ideas, including the legalization of human organ sales and the abolition of Argentina's central bank. The meeting also touched on the sensitive issue of the Falkland Islands, with Milei previously vowing to establish a diplomatic roadmap for Argentina to regain sovereignty over the territory. Johnson has been critical of the Labour government's recent decisions regarding British overseas territories, expressing concern that the Falklands could be handed over to Argentina. The meeting highlighted the chemistry between the two leaders, as they posed for a photo with Johnson's book, indicating a potential alliance or shared interests between their political agendas.
