Blinken in Buenos Aires to Meet New Argentine President

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Buenos Aires, where he is scheduled to meet the new liberal Argentine President Javier Milei, concluding a brief tour in Latin America. This is Blinken's first visit to Argentina after attending a meeting of his counterparts in the G20 in Brazil on Wednesday and Thursday. Blinken's visit comes at a time when social tensions are gradually escalating in Argentina, as the austerity measures implemented by the ultra-liberal Milei administration begin to impact society.
