A $20 billion lifeline from the US is almost certain to keep Argentina President Javier Milei from being engulfed by a currency crisis in the runup to key mid-term elections this month.
The US president has said a $20bn currency swap with Argentina depended on the success of Javier Milei’s coalition.
He has faced legislative defeats at a time of scandal, and is set for a poor showing at midterms later this month, writes Ian Bremmer.
