Milei Says U.S. Treasury Deal Nearing, Cites Expected U.S. Aid

He downplays the peso’s slide.

Overview

  • President Javier Milei said he is closing an agreement with the U.S. Treasury and signaled expected U.S. economic assistance, a claim presented as developing rather than independently confirmed.
  • He attributed recent exchange‑rate turbulence to a "destructive" opposition during an election year and urged Argentines to ride out what he called an electoral "inferno."
  • Milei rejected assertions that his government depleted reserves and asserted that Argentina has purchased US$25 billion.
  • He confirmed a meeting with former president Mauricio Macri and said he is building a governing base, citing talks with provinces on tax and labor reforms targeted for December 11.
  • The president praised IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva and U.S. Treasury official Scott Bessett, emphasizing their support in Argentina’s financing discussions.
