 Javier Milei, the president of cash-strapped Argentina, starts another U.S. tour and plans to meet Elon Musk
==========

Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, begins a four-day visit to the United States. He will meet with tech billionaire Elon Musk and tour a Tesla factory in Texas. Milei aims to reshape Argentine foreign policy in line with Washington and strengthen the strategic alliance between the two nations. He plans to cut public spending and roll back interventionist policies to attract investors. The U.S. is the largest investor in Argentina and has influence over the International Monetary Fund, which Argentina owes $42 billion. Milei's free-market policies have raised hopes of extracting lithium reserves in Argentina to break China's dominance in the battery supply chain.
