The Milei government was waiting for an immediate announcement after the meeting with Donald Trump, but the American treasure preferred to administer the times. The White House considers that the ex -president’s gesture has already sent a clear signal to the markets and showed that there will be economic support, although without formal details.
This Tuesday’s meeting between Javier Milei and Donald Trump in New York was performed by markets as a sign of strong political alignment between the White House and the Casa Rosada. However, despite the expectation of an immediate pronouncement, The United States Treasury chose to postpone the formal announcement of financial assistance to Argentina.
As he could know Scopein Washington the idea prevailed that The political photo of the Argentine president together with Trump works, for now, as sufficient support to send a message of trust to investors.
The delay in the announcement occurs at a time when the Argentine government is going through a delicate financial front, with meager reserves and external commitments that accumulate towards the end of the year. From the Palace of Finance the expectation of an immediate gesture after bilateral with Trump had leaked. What was clear after the meeting is that Trump gave a political support without nuances to Milei’s strategy.

In this context, a phrase from Trump himself resonated strongly in the Argentine delegation: “Besent is going to help Argentina”. The immediate reading in the halls of the Casa Rosada was that, if the US president puts the secretary of the Treasury in front – and not, for example, the defense— The commitment is economical and, therefore, implies funds.
“The announcement is that the United States promised to help Argentina financially. There will be no specific announcement, because Americans do not usually operate that way. But what they already said implies that there is an agreement,” Sources close to the negotiation remarked.
The Argentine government is committed to financial assistance finally in the coming weeks, either through an extension of multilateral credits or a guarantee scheme that unlocks private financing. Meanwhile, the economic team seeks to capitalize on the political effect of the meeting with Trump to reinforce the narrative of external trust.
In the Casa Rosada they are confident that Milei’s photo with the Republican leader and Trump’s explicit mention about Besent’s role will be enough to calm the immediate pressure of the market. However, in international financial circles the attentive look persists: the political guarantee is important, but fresh dollars remain the true measure of the support.
