Overview

• The Argentine president arrived in Washington overnight and is lodged at Blair House with a delegation that includes Economy Minister Luis Caputo, Karina Milei, and Security Minister Patricia Bullrich.
• The bilateral is set in a 1+6 format with a working lunch, with outlets offering differing start times and reporting a possible delay to the schedule.
• Officials say the meeting will reaffirm the Treasury assistance negotiated with Scott Bessent and Caputo’s team, which Buenos Aires touts as easing short‑term liquidity strains.
• Negotiations toward tariff relief for Argentine goods and new U.S. investment in lithium, copper, uranium, and energy are described as advanced but not finalized.
• Government sources temper expectations of major announcements today, while the high‑profile optics arrive 12 days before Argentina’s legislative elections.
