U.S. supports Milei: 'We are willing to do what is necessary for Argentina'

Amid currency tensions and pressure on reserves, the United States government has confirmed that it is willing to provide assistance to Argentina to strengthen the Central Bank and ensure macroeconomic stability. The announcement was made by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who emphasized that Washington "will do whatever is necessary to support Javier Milei's government."

Bessent, an official in Donald Trump's administration, highlighted that "all options for stabilization are on the table." Among them, he mentioned possible currency swap lines, direct dollar purchases, and operations with sovereign debt through the U.S. Exchange Stabilization Fund. According to the Treasury, Argentina is considered a country of "systemic importance" in Latin America and a strategic ally of the United States.

Milei receives international support during a key stage of reforms

Secretary Bessent stated that they have full confidence in the economic reforms and fiscal adjustment being carried out by the libertarian government. "Opportunities for private investment in Argentina remain broad, and Argentina will be great again," he said, in a phrase that reinforces the political and economic alignment with Milei.

The Treasury Department also confirmed a key meeting in New York between President Javier Milei, Bessent, and President Donald Trump himself, in order to coordinate the next steps in financial and commercial cooperation.

Milei thanked the support from the U.S.

The Argentine president replied with a message full of gratitude and reaffirmation of the economic direction: "Enormous thanks to Secretary Scott Bessent and President Donald Trump for the unconditional support to the Argentine people, who two years ago chose to turn around a century of decline with great effort. Those of us who defend the ideas of freedom must work together for the well-being of our peoples. See you Tuesday in New York."

This way, Javier Milei's government adds top-level political and economic support at a time when the priority is to strengthen reserves, stabilize the dollar, and consolidate the confidence of international markets.
