Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are clashing over Argentina financial aid during the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.

Argentina's Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein has presented his resignation, Argentina's presidential office said on Wednesday, marking the second departure from that role under the nearly two-year-old administration of President Javier Milei.

With $14 billion in investment projects and rising exports, China has consolidated its position as a key trading partner for Argentina, irking the U.S.

Finalizing a $20 billion lifeline for Argentina using taxpayers’ funds during the government shutdown was an essential action for the agency, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday.

When U.S. President Donald Trump last week conditioned a hefty financial bailout of Argentina on President Javier Milei triumphing in upcoming midterm elections, he handed the country's opposition a new rallying cry.

If Washington backstops the loan, it would mean 'American taxpayers are on the hook for a lot more,' Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., told Semafor.

The Argentine peso strengthened, snapping a five-day losing streak amid continued market intervention by both the local and US governments.

China has a major presence in Argentina’s telecommunications and internet markets. Local telecom giant Telecom Argentina recently agreed to receive a $74 million loan from the Bank of China. Huawei, a Chinese technology company restricted from conducting much business in the U.S., also runs a 5G mobile network business in Argentina.
