BUENOS AIRES: US President Donald Trump will host Argentina’s Javier Milei for talks at the White House on October 14, according to the Argentine government, further boosting his ally after the announcement of a multi-billion-dollar US rescue package. The meeting will take place two weeks before highly-anticipated mid-term elections in Argentina, which could hobble the right-wing Milei’s reform agenda. Argentina’s government said Tuesday that the meeting, which will be the second in a month between Trump and Milei, will strengthen the “strategic alliance” between Washington and Buenos Aires.
