Holsey's arrival represents a new gesture of support from President Donald Trump toward Milei's Argentina, in line with recent statements by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who stated to a group of investors that the Republican administration would be willing to provide the Argentine government with a direct credit line if a global impact event endangered Milei's economic plan.
"If Argentina needs it, in the event of an external shock and if Milei stays the course, we would be willing to use the ESF," Bessent said, referring to the U.S. Treasury's financial instrument. His words were spoken during a private meeting with investors organized by JP Morgan in Washington, according to Bloomberg.
The previous Monday, Bessent visited Buenos Aires, during which he met with President Javier Milei and the Minister of Economy, Luis "Toto" Caputo. He also attended a lunch with private sector businessmen.
In all his interventions, he expressed his support for the economic course adopted by the libertarian government. His visit to Argentina coincided with the start of a new stage of the economic program and came shortly after the announcement of the new agreement with the International Monetary Fund.
