Argentine President Milei arrived in the US capital on Thursday, seeking a respite from the cryptocurrency turmoil, which is still ongoing. It has been almost a week since the collapse of the meme coin he promoted on the X platform and caused its price to soar. The visit to the US was planned in advance, and the timing is just right to help Milei shift the focus back to his economic achievements in the political circle.

He plans to meet with Musk, speak at a conservative political action conference, and also meet with Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), to seek to consolidate an agreement to boost the Argentine economy.
