This Friday, the government of Donald Trump stated that, under the leadership of Javier Milei, a strong and stable Argentina is the best scenario for United States interests.
The message was posted on X by the United States Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, after Argentina's repayment of the funds used in the currency swap agreement with the United States, and it combined economic definitions with political considerations about the region.
In the text, Bessent emphasized that the strategy promoted by Donald Trump's administration has a direct impact on Latin America. According to his statement, "President Donald Trump's policy of peace through economic strengthening is transforming Latin America in ways that prioritize the United States and surround this country with stability and prosperity." In that context, the official stressed that the stability of allied countries is a central objective of United States foreign and economic policy.
One of the main points of the statement was Argentina's role within that regional strategy. Bessent maintained that the country is going through a process of economic strengthening and political strengthening under the current libertarian administration.
