Overview
- Javier Milei used Wednesday’s Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles to pitch Argentina’s economic overhaul to a room of global investors.
- He said government charts show a smaller budget deficit and slower inflation, and he urged executives to put fresh capital to work in Argentina.
- After meetings with Chevron, Nvidia and others, Economy Minister Luis Caputo said Chevron is considering a new US$10 billion filing under RIGI, Argentina’s incentive regime for very large projects.
- Milei said political alignment with the United States under President Donald Trump reopens the chance of a bilateral free trade agreement.
- From Los Angeles, he called an Argentine TV channel to defend Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni against allegations, and he is due back in Buenos Aires today to steer the response.
