The president took off Monday night to the United States, after the reprogramming of his flight. On an emergency tour, Milei will hit the necessary doors to get fresh dollars, which allow him to stop the nervousness of the “markets” and the risk of default. After last week, in which the BCRA sold more than US $ 1,100 million in 3 days to contain the dollar, it is evident that nothing is going according to the plan but quite the opposite: The plan is unsustainable.
At his worst moment, Javier Milei will meet Tuesday with Donald Trump. The bilateral encounter will be close to noon (local time). Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein, Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Karina Milei will participate in the Argentine delegation. After the meeting, the confirmation of a rescue by the US Treasury is expected to be a new political support of the National Government, to reassure financial capital and creditors. An important gesture to try October with some air and avoid shocks on the exchange front like those of the last days.
The official statements of Treasury Secretary Scott Besent in X reinforce this rescue theory and political support to the libertarian project. Although for the moment there was no reprogramming of the meeting with the head of the IMF – which had to be suspended by the delay of the trip – Georgieva celebrated Besent’s sayings. In his social networks he argued: “We welcome the statement of support of Scott Besent to Argentina. This underlines the crucial role of the partners in the promotion of solid policies for stabilization and growth for the benefit of the people of Argentina.”
The Government seeks to deepen looting
In the previous meeting with Trump, the Government announced another economic measure to encourage the entry of dollars at any cost. This time he yielded to the soy and livestock employers with the reduction of retentions to 0%, with an offer that will be valid until October 31. Caputo took another letter to earn time – and add dollars. The response in the “markets” was positive, with increases in the ADRs (which are the actions of Argentine companies on Wall Street) and bonds above 20 %. While the country risk scored a significant decline being below 1100 points. They are data that show the enthusiasm of capital and that respond positively both to the decline of withholdings and especially to the Treasury signs on a possible financial support to guarantee the payment of debt. Although it is not yet clear if the agrarian employers will accept the proposal or continue to speculate with the devaluation Pos October.
The fiscal impact of retentions would imply for the Government a loss in the collection of up to US $ 1,650 million. This is equivalent to what is necessary to finance the increase to the university budget and the Emergency Law in Pediatrics. A new sample that the tax adjustment on public spending is undeniable only for popular sectors: when it comes to benefiting concentrated economic groups, everything can change.
Milei’s new trip to the US to look for another financial rescue is the demonstration that the plan does not go well. Without enough reservations to keep the dollar inside the band to the elections, and with a growing risk of debt of debt, they arrive on the knees of the US treasure.
But no help is free: the few examples of this type of rescue show that the conditions they usually ask for in return are leoninas. In December 1994, Mexico lived a strong devaluation of the peso after the exit of a exchange flotation scheme. In that context, it agreed to a multilateral financial rescue that included the US Treasury to the IMF and the IDB, but under the condition of having priority to collect the debt, a guarantee was imposed on the agreement with the oil income. In the Argentine case, US authorities have already expressed interest in strategic resources, especially in the oil and mining sector. They want to advance with a looting of natural common goods.
Permanent monitoring about the country’s accounts, the continuity of the fiscal adjustment, the rise in interest rates, structural reforms and privatizations are on the list of what is coming if this new indebtedness will be completed. The advance in the partial privatization of Argentine Nucleotic SA (NASA) is another sample. A new great scam, (that if confirmed should go through Congress) to continue paying debt that was taken fraudulently.
Not in our name
In addition to the submission to financial capital, Milei intends to put Argentina on the knees of the genocide that Israel has been carrying out in Gaza. On Wednesday he will give a speech at the UN Annual Assembly and, the next day, he will take advantage of the presence of the BenjamĂn Netanyahu war criminal on North American soil to make a new meeting. Then, he will also meet with other outstanding figures of the Zionist movement, such as Donald S. Lauder, president of the Jewish World Congress, and Claudio Epelman, director of the Latin American Jewish Congress.
It will be a new confirmation of the unconditional support of Milei to the extermination policy against the Palestinian people of the State of Israel, leaving Argentina as one of its only allies in the face of increasing isolation and international repudiation. Only a quick look at the rest of the globe is enough to see how several countries have been recognizing the existence of the Palestinian state and how the massive mobilizations multiply demanding the high to the massacre. Without going any further, this Monday they registered demonstrations in at least 80 cities in Italy, strikes and blockages that paralyzed the ports and railroads against genocide.

In this context, the ratification of Milei’s support for genocide is a new offense. The president seeks to align Argentina with his personal positions and affinities, when the expressions and manifestations of repudiation of the genocide also have been growing in the country.
Milei’s trip is the symbol of what expresses the ultra -right that represents: the most atrocious submission to financial capital and unconditional alignment to the lighthouse of the world reaction such as Israel’s genocidal state. But the context is very different from that of previous meetings, with a seriously beaten and discredited Milei to impose its adjustment plan, with strong defeats both in the polls and in Parliament and in the streets. Faced with this new leap that prepares for national looting, the situation requires urgent measures that begin to break with the IMF and know sovereign the fraud that represents this odious debt, and advance in protection measures to the massive escape of capital such as the nationalization of banks and control of foreign trade. For that, the mass mobilization is necessary to impose on the CGT measures at the height of the attack and break with the passive waiting of those who let the adjustment and delivery pass by speculating with the electoral replacement.
