Argentina's President Javier Milei has made significant strides in economic reform, achieving a fifth consecutive monthly primary budget surplus and a trade balance of $2,656 million, according to the Stats Agency. His administration is focused on reducing spending and avoiding printing pesos to cover deficits. However, Milei's foreign policy has stirred controversy, particularly with Spain, where his decision to bypass top government officials during a visit has been criticized as a deviation from diplomatic norms. Additionally, Milei faces challenges with inflation and accusations of hypocrisy over his Supreme Court nomination. Despite these issues, Milei's pro-American and pro-NATO stance marks a significant shift in Argentina's foreign policy. Looking ahead, Milei's economic policies will be tested further in 2025.

Accumulated, Argentina’s 🇦🇷 insane export tariffs reached $203 billion dollars, squeezing agro producers since the early 2000s.

The likely acceleration of inflation “reflects the challenge of fixing so many economic problems at the same time,” I told @NewYorkSun. “But Argentina is on the right path, slowing spending and resisting the temptation to print pesos to pay for deficits.” https://t.co/3O90chrrbf
Should inflation accelerate, “there will be political consequences; the monthly inflation rate is Milei’s preferred measure of success,” I told @NewYorkSun. “Milei is the inflation slayer, that’s his brand.” https://t.co/3O90chrrbf
