Milei Is Counting on Trump to Bail Argentina Out of an Economic Mess

Argentine President

Javier Milei is staking the future of his free-market overhaul on his relationship with President Trump, who stopped short of promising a bailout for Argentina but issued an unusual political endorsement of the leader in coming elections.

“We’re going to help them,” Trump told reporters Tuesday after meeting with Milei on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly gathering of world leaders. “If he can continue to do the job that he’s been doing, it’s going to really be something special.”
