    Argentine President Javier Milei is in New York City for the U.N. General Assembly, where he will give a speech later Tuesday.

    He is expected to meet with Trump after the meeting. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday the U.S. is ready to help Argentina, which is reeling from a market selloff.

    “We remain confident that President [Milei]’s support for fiscal discipline and pro-growth reforms are necessary to break Argentina’s long history of decline,” Bessent said.
