Scott Bessent signaled that the U.S. is prepared to support Argentina amid its economic crisis, viewing the country as a key ally in Latin America.

He outlined possible measures—such as swap lines, dollar purchases, and using the Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund to buy Argentine debt—showing Washington’s seriousness. The support is linked to President Javier Milei’s reform agenda, which Bessent praises for its focus on fiscal discipline and growth. U.S. backing could stabilize the peso, restore investor confidence, and counter China’s influence in the region. However, it carries risks: taxpayer exposure, Argentina’s history of failed reforms, and the danger of dependency. Bessent stressed that U.S. aid will only come with expectations of real follow-through from Buenos Aires, making success dependent on Argentina’s political and economic discipline.
