On September 22, Buchanan wrote in support of Argentina’s current administration: “It’s clear that Argentina will benefit from American support behind President @JMilei’s mission to make long-term, sustainable reforms. I fully support efforts to strengthen Argentina’s stability, growth and partnership with the United States.”
The following day, he marked the Jewish New Year by stating: “As the Jewish community welcomes the New Year, we stand in solidarity with our Jewish brothers and sisters. Even in the face of rising antisemitism, Rosh Hashanah is a time of renewal and hope.” This message was posted on September 23.
Later that same day, Buchanan commented on his recent diplomatic meetings in Buenos Aires: “Great to sit down with @GAFrancosOk and fellow leaders in Buenos Aires. Strengthening the U.S.–Argentina partnership is vital to advancing reforms, ensuring stability and building lasting prosperity.”
