The United States Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, praised this Tuesday the reform program being carried out by the Government of Javier Milei and highlighted the strong electoral support that the President received in 2025, particularly among the poorest sectors of society and young people.
Before holding a meeting with the Minister of Economy, Luis "Toto" Caputo, Bessent spoke with Larry Kudlow, former director of the National Economic Council, and emphasized the direction Argentina has taken during Milei's administration.
“Argentina is leading a historic opportunity in the Western Hemisphere,” the U.S. official highlighted during the conversation.
Bessent also referred to Milei's recent election and focused on the electoral behavior of sectors that previously leaned towards the left.
“If we analyze in detail the last election of President Milei, we see that the poorest sectors of society and young people supported him. So, as you mentioned, we are seeing changes in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, and Ecuador, and I believe we will see many more similar cases,” he added.
The statements from the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury came before the start of the final session of the G20 Finance. The meeting's main discussion points included the crisis in the Middle East, the supply chain, artificial intelligence, and global inflation.
