Argentine President-elect Javier Milei on Tuesday met with top U.S. officials in Washington and his economic team huddled with IMF officers as he seeks to formulate a plan to reshape the country¡¯s foreign policy and lead its economy out of crisis.

Milei told reporters as he left the White House that his meeting had been ¡°excellent.¡± Among those in attendance were U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan and the National Security Council¡¯s senior director for the Western Hemisphere, Juan Gonzalez.

¡°We talked about the economic and social conditions in Argentina at the moment,¡± Milei said in brief comments before he was whisked off in his official car. Milei aligned himself with Western values, his office later said.
