Milei’s Win in Argentina Signals Rebuke of the Past and Trump’s Impact

President Javier Milei scored a decisive legislative win, with voters from Patagonia to the Pampa backing his sweeping economic overhaul. Financial markets rallied as the Trump administration claimed credit, citing a $20 billion lifeline and a currency swap that helped steady Argentina ahead of the vote. Milei’s party captured over 40 percent, giving him enough congressional backing to shield his agenda. After slashing spending about 30 percent and cutting 55,000 public jobs, he now eyes broad labor, tax and pension changes. Supporters say they want stability and change, even as inflation stays high and poverty persists.
