President Milei has now traveled 20% of his entire Presidency in other countries

If only he spent some time here and focused on our economy. Another trip!

I'm sure it is very frustrating to see him gallivanting around the world while people are struggling at home. Just remember that Argentina has a lot of liabilities coming due the next few years and needs outside help to deal with it. Eliminating deficits was a great start but it does nothing to solve debts of the past which are rapidly coming due. Milei is selling the Argentina story to governments, agencies and investors everywhere because the country needs them. The alternative is some combination of default and fire sales of key assets, which you avoid if at all possible.

I know it is very difficult for some Argentines to understand this. Many understand the trips to the US and that has paid dividends. Many don't think he needs to travel but Craig is right. They will need some serious IMF help heading into the future. Tons and tons of liabilities coming up.
