President Donald Trump suggested the $20 billion lifeline the US is planning for Argentina could be contingent on libertarian leader Javier Milei’s success in the midterm elections, sending fresh jitters through the currency market.
“If he wins we’re staying with him, and if he doesn’t win we’re gone,” Trump told reporters Tuesday, adding that the governments also planned to discuss a potential free trade agreement.
President Trump also answered questions on other foreign policy priorities, including his relationship with China’s President Xi as the trade war between the United States and China escalated further this week.
Milei spoke with Trump and members of his administration at the White House.
