Read the full assessment

The defeat of former US President Trump in recent elections, driven by economic dissatisfaction and the Iran war, has introduced significant uncertainty for Argentina's President Milei. This outcome jeopardizes a proposed $20 billion currency swap and may necessitate a recalibration of Argentina's international alignment and domestic political strategy. Confidence in the immediate impact on bilateral relations is medium, with high uncertainty regarding future financial aid.
