Overview

• Argentina’s Foreign Ministry confirmed a Tuesday morning bilateral between Javier Milei and President Donald Trump in New York during the UN General Assembly.
• The government is negotiating a possible U.S. Treasury loan to bolster reserves, which Milei described as “very advanced,” though no agreement has been announced.
• Milei will meet IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva on Monday and attend the Atlantic Council gala where Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will present him the Global Citizen Award.
• The trip follows a turbulent week in Argentina’s markets, with the central bank selling about USD 1.1 billion in three days, the official dollar above 1,500 pesos, and country risk surpassing 1,400 basis points.
• The delegation includes Karina Milei and Economy Minister Luis Caputo; Milei is slated to address the UN on Wednesday and hold separate talks with international figures including Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu.
