Argentine President-elect Javier Milei arrived in the US on Monday for a trip to New York and Washington that will include meetings with the International Monetary Fund and Biden administration officials, as well as former President Bill Clinton, as he looks to shore up support for the nation’s crisis-torn economy.

Milei will meet with President Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and US Treasury officials, according to press offices from the US and Argentina. Accompanied by campaign manager Nicolas Posse and economic adviser Luis Caputo, he’ll also speak with IMF staff as Argentina needs to reset its $43 billion loan agreement that’s gone off track under the current government.
