Milei rallies voters after Trump’s endorsement

Returning from a White House lunch with President Trump—and fresh promises of U.S. billions—Argentina’s Javier Milei climbed onto a pickup in a leather jacket, megaphone in hand, urging students, farmers, and pensioners to back him in Sunday’s pivotal midterm. Before a crowd in Córdoba, some in Lionel Messi jerseys and red MAGA caps, he called it a turning point. Trump has endorsed his ally and tied a $20 billion lifeline to the vote. Economists and markets see the contest as a test of Milei’s economic experiment; Argentine voters will render the first verdict since 2023.
