ā€œJust as President Trump made a commitment to make the United States great again, we have promised our people that we will make Argentina great again,ā€ MileiĀ proclaimedĀ after meeting with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

MileiĀ thankedĀ Bessent and President Donald Trump for supporting his dramatic reform program, which brought Argentina back to prosperity and a responsible government after ā€œa long list of politicians blinded by socialismā€ led the country into ruin.

Milei chided those past leaders for viewing the U.S. as a ā€œscapegoat for the evils that they themselves had generated, instead of a potential partner with which to grow together.ā€ …

Milei said Latin America has been ā€œdevastatedā€ by the ā€œvirus of socialism,ā€ much as Europe was devastated by World War II. …

Argentina’s libertarian president said Trump ā€œcorrectly understands that it is necessary to correct the existing distortions and fight for a commercial system where everyone plays by the same rules, free from abuse and unfair commercial practices.ā€

ā€œToday, Argentina is living its own day of liberation, after 15 years of capital control. Today, we have gotten rid of that anvil we were chained to, returning once and for all to a path of sustainable growth,ā€ he said.

Milei wasĀ referring to the tight controls on capital and currency he ended this week, backed by a $20 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF chipped in to support Milei’s policies of austerity and low government debt, which it praised for ā€œimpressive initial gains,ā€ by shoring up Argentina’s dangerously low reserves of foreign currency. …

On Monday, Bessent said he visited Argentina’s president in Buenos Aires to ā€œconvey the optimism we feel in the United States about this new Argentina.ā€

ā€œIn many ways, Milei and the MAGA movement share a common path,ā€ the treasury secretary remarked.

After meeting Milei, BessentĀ toldĀ Bloomberg News he hoped the leader’s reforms would soon provide Argentina with enough foreign currency toĀ pay off its $18 billion currency swap with China. The Trump administration has denounced the swap line as ā€œextortionā€ by the Chinese government. About $5 billion of the currency swap is currently active. Milei’s administration has said it wants to ramp the Chinese swap down to zero by the middle of next year. …

The treasury secretary alsoĀ said the Trump administration wants to help Milei and other Latin American leaders keep ā€œrapaciousā€ China away from their mineral resources. …

Thank You, YHVH, for turning the tide in many nations. Thank You for exposing evil ideologies like socialism, that bring ruin and destruction. Strengthen those governments that align with Your righteous principles and precepts, and draw them into alliances that are a mutual blessing to their people.

If the United States turned into a one party state like California due to the massive migration, I was considering moving to Argentina. I am retired and there are programs that I qualify for. Others were considering Costa Rico. At the election watch party, I was very calm knowing that there was an option for me.

Lord of second chances, we thank you for this encouraging example of a strong charismatic leader with the confidence and skills to bring hope and renewal to a failing economy. Please continue to give Milei the wisdom and understanding to rebuild after years of decline and once again restore true justice to a nation drowned by liberalism.
We ask that your Spirit pours out knowledge and fear of the Lord on Argentina as you have in the past to renew your reign of true justice and righteousness now and forever. Amen
