According to La Nacion, when Argentinian President Mauricio Macri called Trump to congratulate him, Trump asked Macri to expedite Trump’s building of a tower in Buenos Aires. Trump has been wanting to build the tower for a long time, but has been stymied by currency restrictions (el cepo cambiario) and import restrictions (las trabas a las importaciones.).
When President Mauricio Macri talked on the telephone to the new president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, it has been revealed that the Republican magnate asked Macri permission to build a tower in the center of Buenos Aires.
“Macri called him. This hasn’t come out yet, but Trump asked him to authorize a building he is constructing in Buenos Aires. It wasn’t just a geopolitical chat,” said Jorge Lanata in his monologue on the program Periodismo para Todos (Journalism for All). Trump asked the President permission to formalize the work of his new construction project which, as the La Nacion has already covered, he has been interested in building for many years, but hasn’t already built because of the difficulties of currency restrictions and import restrictions.
