Argentina's Milei touts US trade deal, says 'happy times' ahead

Argentine President Javier Milei promised Tuesday that inflation will soon be “little more than a bad memory” and vowed to pursue a free trade deal with the United States next year.

“Happy times are coming in Argentina,” Milei said in a televised speech, in which he celebrated progress on monthly inflation which has dropped under his cost-slashing agenda, even as poverty has risen.
