阿根廷总统哈维尔·米莱敦促其盟友、美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在即将到来的美国中期选举中取得更强势的地位，并称此次投票对整个西方世界都至关重要。
Argentine President Javier Milei has urged his ally, US President Donald Trump, to come out of the United States midterm elections in a stronger position, calling the vote important for the West as a whole.
米莱周三在华盛顿举行的西班牙裔传统晚宴上发出上述呼吁，当时一个西班牙裔协会向他颁发了奖项，此举正值11月的中期选举前夕。
Milei made the appeal on Wednesday at a Hispanic Heritage gala in Washington, where a Hispanic association gave him an award, ahead of November’s vote.
据法新社报道，米莱表示，保守派“在我们对半球的重新夺回过程中，不能退让一寸”。
Conservatives, he said, “cannot give an inch in our reconquest of the hemisphere”, according to Agence France-Presse.
米莱周三飞抵美国首都，与投资者会面并出席晚宴。他定于周四在美国商会发表演讲。
Milei flew into the US capital on Wednesday for meetings with investors and the gala. He is due to address the US Chamber of Commerce on Thursday.
一年前，当米莱政府也面临关键立法选举时，特朗普曾坚定支持米莱。特朗普曾称米莱为他“最喜欢的总统”。
Trump firmly backed Milei a year ago, when his government also faced crucial legislative elections. He has called Milei his “favorite president”.
分析人士认为，这种支持加上与美国财政部达成的货币互换协议，帮助米莱在那些选举中取得了成功。
That backing, together with a currency swap agreement with the US Treasury, helped Milei to success in those polls, analysts have argued.
该援助方案的核心内容由财政部长斯科特·贝森特宣布，是一项200亿美元的互换协议，美国与阿根廷中央银行进行美元兑换比索的操作。该互换协议在米莱所在政党输掉一场关键省级选举后不久达成。
The centrepiece of the package, announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, was a $20bn swap with Argentina’s central bank, in which the US exchanged dollars for pesos. The swap came shortly after Milei’s party lost a key provincial election.
特朗普当时明确表示，支持取决于米莱获胜。“我支持这个人，因为他的理念是正确的，”他在与阿根廷领导人共进白宫午餐前表示。“如果他赢了，我们将继续支持他。如果他不赢，我们就撤走。”特朗普还警告称，如果米莱落败，美国不会表现得“慷慨”。据美联社报道，这番言论动摇了阿根廷市场，主要股指放弃早盘涨幅，下跌约2%。
Trump made clear at the time that the support hinged on a Milei victory. “I’m with this man because his philosophy is correct,” he said ahead of a White House lunch with the Argentine leader. “If he wins, we’re staying with him. And if he doesn’t win, we’re gone.”Trump also warned that the US would not be “generous” if Milei lost. The remarks unsettled Argentine markets, with the main stock index giving up earlier gains and falling about 2 percent, The Associated Press reported.
该援助方案在美国国内引发批评。民主党议员指责特朗普在联邦政府关门期间，却优先考虑对外国的救助。
The package drew criticism in the US. Democratic lawmakers accused Trump of prioritising a foreign bailout while the US government was shut down.
