Isolationists over recent years think using tariffs as leverage to force concessions out of adversaries is a dangerous thought process. It will always negatively impact the local economy.
Milei's a textbook conservative -- some of these phony conservative politicians could learn a thing or two from him.
I disagree. He is a text-book ultra-liberal. Many times these horses drink on the same bucket, because they both despise socialism and social democracy, but their agendas are different. Conservatism is absolutely ok with protectionism and tariffs, while ultra-liberals leave all to market and natural price formation.
In practice the alternance between the systems tends to do quite well for wealth creation / wealth distribution. In Argentina it is clearly time for wealth creation - not much left to distribute.
