The IMF’s relationship with Javier Milei, according to Marco Rubio
“Biden should use US influence in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to help President Milei restructure Argentina’s debt,” Rubio said. In this statement he also highlighted that “the most urgent problem” in Argentina is “the growing inflation that exceeded 140%” and linked it to the “crushing financial crisis considering that Argentina owes $44 billion to the IMF”.
He also listed some of Biden’s actions that he considers to be mistakes: “President Biden has trouble differentiating his friends from his adversaries in our region. “Biden neglected Paraguay’s Peña last October and appears more eager to appease dictators like Maduro than to work with conservatives like Milei.”
