The International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) issued a statement highlighting President Javier Milei's leadership and confirmed productive meetings
The relationship between United States and Argentina is experiencing its best moment in decades. In a message shared through its official account on the X network, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC)—the investment arm of the U.S. government—praised Javier Milei's leadership and confirmed that it is holding talks with the Argentine economic team to strengthen cooperation and attract private capital to the country.
"@DFCgov applauds @USTreasury's actions during this critical period. Recently, DFC held productive meetings with the Argentine government to discuss strategic investments in a variety of industries, including critical minerals and infrastructure," the agency stated.

The DFC statement emphasizes the importance of deepening the economic relationship with the country and makes clear Washington's political and financial support for the stabilization program promoted by the libertarian government.
"We look forward to continuing discussions with Argentina's team on potential investments and reducing Argentina's leverage profile. A strong and stable Argentina, under President @JMilei, is a direct strategic interest of the United States, which promotes both economic and national security," the text adds.
The statement comes days after the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, announced the signing of an economic stabilization agreement with the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA). That statement had been interpreted as a sign of confidence in the fiscal and monetary policies implemented by the Argentine government to leave behind decades of structural imbalance inherited from Kirchnerism.

The DFC also emphasized that "through greater cooperation and private sector participation, we can build lasting growth and support a prosperous future for the peoples of the United States and Argentina."
The DFC, created in 2019 during Donald Trump's administration, is the main financial instrument of the United States to promote investments in allied countries and counter China's economic influence in Latin America. Its message not only reaffirms the strategic alliance between Washington and Buenos Aires, but also confirms that the international community is watching Argentina's economic reforms with optimism.
Sources from the Ministry of Economy confirmed that the meetings with the DFC included investment projects in mining, energy, and infrastructure, sectors that the government considers pillars of productive recovery.
