President Javier Milei is meeting today with U.S. President Donald Trump in New York during the United Nations General Assembly to finalize a financial aid package from the U.S. Treasury. The deal is intended to help Argentina meet looming debt obligations over the next 15 months and to bolster the reserves of the Central Bank.

This announcement reinforces the growing strategic alliance between Argentina and the United States amid increasing global tensions, particularly concerning China’s influence in Latin America. Milei arrived in New York accompanied by Karina Milei, Luis “Toto” Caputo, and Manuel Adorni—all key figures in his economic and diplomatic team.

The financing mechanism under discussion would involve funds from U.S. sources flowing into Argentina’s Central Bank, structured through a swap or related instrument to avoid the delays typical of multilateral institutions. The aid should enable Argentina to manage large debt payments coming due in late 2025 and throughout 2026, including both bond maturities and obligations to international creditors.

From Milei’s perspective, this agreement would deliver several strategic gains: immediate relief for foreign-exchange pressure; restoration of market confidence; affirmation that Argentina is able to secure bilateral support without default or excessive reliance on global institutions; and enhanced legitimacy on the world stage.
