WASHINGTON- With an agenda focused on strengthening bilateral ties and supporting a deep economic transformation model, US Treasury Secretary Scott Besent, above Argentina on behalf of President Donald Trump. The trip reflects Washington’s unequivocal support to the structural reforms implemented by President Javier Milei.
The official visit coincides with a key moment for the Argentine economy, after reaching a technical agreement with the International Monetary Fund for a loan of 20,000 million dollars, which could receive final approval in the next few hours. This agreement represents a vote of international confidence towards fiscal order and fiscal rationality promoted by the Milei government.
“Firm commitment”
According to the Department of the Treasury, Besent will reiterate the firm commitment of the United States with the Argentine Reform Agenda and will encourage the international community to support efforts that, in the words of the Trump administration, “have rescued Argentina from economic oblivion.”
In parallel, the White House consolidates its American industry defense strategy through a new “custom” tariff scheme, which includes a three -month truce with strategic partners.
Argentina is positioned as a privileged ally in this new scenario. The will of President Milei to adapt national legislation to comply with the new parameters reflects not only pragmatism, but also a clear harmony with the principles defended by the Trump administration.
“We have already met nine of the 16 necessary requirements,” Milei said during a recent intervention in Florida, and said his team works to solve pending differences within a short period.
“Investment”
Besent’s mission includes meetings with Milei, Economy Minister Luis Caputo, other key officials and leaders of the business sector. The objective is to advance in a common agenda oriented to investment, the opening of markets and the strengthening of a bilateral relationship that, according to Washington, “is today more solid than ever.”
The approach between both administrations marks the beginning of a new stage for the region, based on the defense of the free market, institutional strengthening and cooperation between nations that share a modern and bold vision of development.
