U.S. Announces Support for Argentina

In an announcement that took markets by surprise, the U.S. Treasury has promised full support for Argentina, igniting hope for an immediate relief to the severe economic crisis plaguing the country. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made the statement this Monday (22), in a move that could inject billions of dollars into the Argentine economy.

"All stabilization options are on the table," Bessent wrote on his X account. The statement, seen as a bombshell promise, has put the world on alert. The support options include swap lines, direct currency purchases, and even purchases of Argentina's public debt.

The American backing comes at a crucial time, just before a meeting that could change the course of the crisis. Argentine President Javier Milei and U.S. President Donald Trump are expected to meet this Tuesday on U.S. soil to discuss the details of the plan.

The Treasury's promise and the imminent meeting between the two key leaders suggest that a drastic and powerful solution is on the way to try and save the Argentine economy from total collapse. The market, which had been retreating, is now watching every move with the expectation of a shower of dollars.
