Carlos Rodríguez warned about the dangers of the new loan with the United States Treasury.

Economist Carlos Rodríguez welcomed the United States ' support for Argentina , although he warned that it must lead to a profound change of direction. "The announcement by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is a very strong signal that there will be significant support from the US Treasury," the specialist, who was close to Javier Milei , although they are now estranged, wrote on social media.

However, he stated that he hopes that "the aid will drastically modify the economic policy of the last two years." Carlos Rodríguez believed that a loan of such magnitude could restore order to the exchange rate: "If the US Treasury lends us US$30 billion, the dollar will surely stabilize." But at the same time, he warned that if the current pattern of high rates and carry trade continues, "those funds will only buy temporary stability."

The economist argued that this is a propitious moment for a structural leap. "This would be the optimal opportunity to implement a free float without interventions or restrictions ," he maintained. In his view, the reserves should be used exclusively to secure Treasury debt payments, while the additional dollars could be acquired by the Treasury itself on the free market "with its surplus (1.5% of GDP) in pre-announced and competitive transactions."

The trip to New York was originally scheduled for Sunday evening, but was ultimately rescheduled for this Monday between 6 and 9 p.m. The official delegation plans to arrive Tuesday morning, with key meetings in Washington and at the United Nations headquarters.

The tour will be accompanied by Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein , Economy Minister Luis Caputo , Karina Milei , and Manuel Adorni . In the United States , Milei aims to consolidate political and financial support. Meeting with Donald Trump will be a strong political gesture. In turn, the meeting with Kristalina Georgieva could pave the way for greater IMF support for Argentina's economic strategy .
