Overview
- Peter Lamelas presented his credentials to President Javier Milei at Casa Rosada, formally starting his tenure as U.S. ambassador to Argentina.
- The U.S. Embassy said Lamelas reaffirmed Washington’s commitment to strengthen bilateral ties after he had delivered credential copies to Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno on Monday.
- The credential ceremony also included new envoys from the European Union, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland.
- Milei departs Wednesday for Miami to speak at the America Business Forum, then heads to New York for meetings with investors, with a possible stop in Bolivia for Rodrigo Paz Pereira’s inauguration.
- An informal Milei–Trump encounter floated for the forum was dropped due to scheduling conflicts, and investors are looking for updates on a bond‑repurchase plan and the previously announced $20 billion proposal by Scott Bessent.
