Milei thanked the Trump administration for its support of Argentina.

President Javier Milei thanked the Donald Trump administration for the historic financial support granted to Argentina, within the framework of the swap agreement for USD 20,000 million and the direct purchase of pesos by the United States Treasury.

The message was published by the Argentine president on the social network X (formerly Twitter), where he also thanked Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Treasury, for his strong support for Argentina. "Together, as closest allies, we will build a hemisphere of economic freedom and prosperity. We will work hard every day to provide opportunities for our people," he concluded, highlighting Trump's leadership.

The expression of gratitude comes after Bessent announced a currency swap for 20,000 million dollars and the direct purchase of Argentine pesos for the first time in history, in support of the stabilization policies promoted by the Argentine economic team.

In an extensive statement, Bessent highlighted "Argentina's solid economic essentials" and assured that the United States government will act to support the country's fiscal adjustment and consolidation plan. "Only the United States can act quickly. We will act," the official stated, in a political signal of enormous magnitude for international markets.

"The Trump administration is committed to strengthening our allies who promote free trade and American investment," Bessent added, who also announced an upcoming meeting between Trump and Milei on October 14, during the IMF annual meetings in Washington.

In the same vein, the Minister of Economy, Luis "Toto" Caputo, published his own message on X, in English and Spanish, where he expressed his deep gratitude to the U.S. Treasury: "I want to take this opportunity to express my enormous gratitude for your unwavering support for our country. This week of hard work has established a solid foundation for the mutual objectives we have set for ourselves."

Washington's support is interpreted as a political and economic endorsement of Javier Milei's liberal program, which managed to reverse the inherited fiscal deficit and lay the foundations for a recovery based on trade openness and confidence in the private sector.

Trumpism thus reaffirmed its alliance with Argentina's new direction, consolidating a strategic relationship aimed at building a "hemisphere of economic freedom and prosperity," in Milei's own words.
