Argentina's President-elect Javier Milei traveled to the United States to meet with American and international officials for two days.
The far-right economist will arrive on a private visit to New York on November 27.
Milei will hold "protocol meetings to explain his economic plan: fiscal adjustment, monetary reform, state reform and deregulation," a spokesman for the president-elect told AFP.
"It's not about looking for funding," he stressed.
Mileiwill later continue to Washington, where he will meet with Juan Gonzalez, the National Security Council's senior director for Western Hemisphere Affairs, diplomatic sources told AFP.
Milei's schedule until Tuesday also includes talks with Treasury officials and officials from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, the sources said.
Milei will travel with several members of his staff, including Luis Caputo, a financial adviser who is considered a likely cabinet member.
The future president has already held a first remote conversation from Buenos Aires with the managing director of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva.
Buenos Aires has an IMF debt of $44 billion negotiated in 2018 by then-President Mauricio Macri, who is now Millay's main ally.
Milei will take the presidency of Argentina on December 10, succeeding the Peronist Alberto Fernandez./BGNES
