Trump’s supporters are expanding their influence globally by hosting international conferences like CPAC, where they showcase right-wing politicians and seek out new ideas to implement in the US.

Alejo de Gennaro, seen from afar, could easily blend in at a Trump rally. He sported a MAGA hat and a big grin while he listened to various speakers criticize socialists and denounce wokeness.
However, the message on Mr. Gennaro’s hat highlighted an important difference: "Make Argentina Great Again." This 23-year-old marketing consultant, Mr. Gennaro, was inside the Buenos Aires Hilton, which is over 4,000 miles away from the country that recently elected Donald J. Trump.
Almost 2,000 people, including him, attended the hotel conference room for the Conservative Political Action Conference, a well-known event in the United States that provides a platform for leaders of the American right to speak out.
Following the success of right-wing movements around the world, CPAC has expanded its reach globally by bringing together conservative parties and politicians in various countries through its traveling events. Recently, CPAC has hosted conferences in countries such as Brazil, Hungary, Japan, Mexico, and most recently Argentina. Speakers at the Argentina event included Javier Milei, the country’s libertarian president known for cutting budgets, and Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of the incoming American president and co-chair of the Republican National Committee.
Ms. Trump declared to the audience that they were reclaiming their countries.
The latest version of CPAC is focusing on expanding its influence globally by promoting Trumpian politics in other countries. At the same time, they are also looking for new ideas and leaders that align with their beliefs to bring back to the US.
