• Government officials say negotiations with the U.S. Treasury on a possible loan to bolster reserves and cover 2026 maturities are very advanced, though no deal has been announced.
• Milei will address the UN General Assembly on Wednesday at 12:15 p.m. local time and meet IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva on Monday, with a bilateral also planned with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu.
• At an Atlantic Council gala, Milei will receive the Global Citizen Award, to be presented by U.S. Treasury official Scott Bessent.
