Overview

• President Donald Trump hosted Argentine President Javier Milei on Oct. 14 and declared strong support for Milei’s agenda.
• Trump said U.S. assistance would continue only if Milei prevails, stating that Washington would “stay” with him if he wins and “be gone” if he does not.
• The administration is advancing a reported $20 billion economic package to help stabilize Argentina’s economy ahead of the vote.
• Milei’s La Libertad Avanza party seeks more seats to push austerity and free‑market overhauls in a country with a history of defaults and recent market jitters.
• During the event, Trump made lighthearted remarks about avoiding a bathing suit and compared his physique with Joe Biden’s while fielding questions about a potential Argentina visit.
