That was a loan. "An austere and efficient government" Bessent valued the Argentine leader's transition to political construction, stating that "he is getting closer to the governors" and that "he could be in power for years." Regarding the victory in the October legislative elections, the Secretary of the Treasury accused Kirchnerism of trying "to cause turbulence in the market" to affect the elections.

He defined the operation as the use of "the United States' financial balance for diplomacy" to help a "great ally" overcome instability. However, he was blunt in clarifying the nature of the funds: "Everyone was saying, 'Oh, they're giving the Argentines 20 billion dollars.' Likewise, he analyzed that support for Milei came from young people and the poorest segment of society, who "suffered under Kirchnerism." For the American official, the libertarian administration replaced a "corrupt and wasteful bureaucracy" with an "austere and efficient government that seeks to safeguard property." The clarification about the $20 billion Finally, Bessent referred to the currency swap agreed upon before the elections. No, no, no, we did not do that.
