On Sunday, Javier Milei emerged victorious as Argentina's new president, with Economy Minister Sergio Massa accepting defeat. Referred to as Argentina's Donald Trump, the 53-year-old has expressed his admiration for the former US President publicly. After nearly 90% of the votes were counted, provisional results revealed Milei had won with 56% of the vote to 44% for Mr. Massa. Mr. Massa then announced his defeat. Aside from this, Milei stole the show on Sunday before a divisive election result when his attendance at Argentina's most prestigious opera house sparked a boisterous shouting match. With his girlfriend, Milei went to see a Madame Butterfly performance at the elegant Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires.
