Interesting article. I know the US is pushing for Argentina to end it's relationship with China but that seems impossible.

Impossible to end the relationship with China. Milei tried to say he wouldn't do business with communists when he started out and then quickly backtracked.

Trump surprisingly seems like a Peronist. His moves are the exact opposite of Milei. His tariff and protectionism is wild. Never works.

The two actually have very little in common. Their policies couldn't be more different. It will be interesting to see how both do in their reelection campaigns.
