United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will travel to Argentina to strengthen ties and affirm Washington’s “full support” for President Javier Milei’s “bold economic reforms.” The visit comes just days after Argentina and the International Monetary Fund reached a technical-level agreement for a new US$20-billion loan. This visit also takes place amid a trade war triggered by US President Donald Trump, who has granted his partners a three-month truce to negotiate “tailored” tariff hikes.
