President Trump and Argentina's president, Javier Millet, have a close relationship.

If you see the photos of Javier Malay when he meets Trump, he just seems so happy.

He's just kind of in his zone when he's in that environment.

Here they are together at a political conference for conservatives in 2024.

Make Argentina great again.

Yeah, so Malay has always been, you know, a top fan of President Trump.

He described his, President Trump's loss in 2020 as, you know, a threat to

Western civilization. Those were the words he used.

That's our colleague Ryan DuBay. He covers Latin America.

Both of them are kind of political outsiders. Both of them were also very critical of kind of leftist, woke political programs.

And Malay wanted to really align Argentina and his government with the U.S. and with the Trump administration.

This Sunday, President Malay will face his first real electoral test since he took office in

2003. That election will indicate how voters feel about Malay's radical overhaul of Argentina's troubled

economy. What does Miele's position look like right now?

So it's been deteriorating, actually. It hasn't been very good. A few months ago, I think

things were looking really up for him and stuff. He was bringing down inflation. Poverty

had begun to decline, but starting to show some cracks, I think, in his program. Really,

the economy hasn't recovered like they were hoping it would.

Now, Malae is hoping his relationship with Trump

will give his economic vision a much-needed boost.

And last week, Trump said that he would give Argentina a bailout

to the tune of $20 billion if Malay's party does well in Sunday's election.
