Trump prioritizes right-wing allies while threatening ideological opponents in region

President Trump hosted President Javier Milei at the White House on Oct. 14, 2025.

The U.S. Treasury and Argentina formalized a $20 billion currency swap framework in early Oct. 2025.

Trump and Milei had prior encounters at CPAC on Feb. 22, 2025; at Mar-a-Lago in Nov. 2024; and at the UN General Assembly in Sep. 2025.

Milei took office on Dec. 10, 2023, and has pursued wide-reaching fiscal and institutional changes, though exact spending figures cited in the original text lack clear public sourcing.
