Argentina says that its poverty rate has dropped to 38.1% in libertarian President Javier Milei’s first year in office.

Milei's series of austerity measures has been brutal. Unemployment has climbed, economic activity has declined and poverty has surged. But now signs have emerged that Argentina’s bizarre and long mismanaged economy is starting to look a little more normal.

After entering office last year, far-right President Milei swiftly imposed his fiscal shock therapy, slashing federal budget transfers to provinces.

Venezuelans have brought their crimes-against-humanity case to a federal court 3,000 miles from home — in Argentina. They're frustrated by the limits of the laboriously slow International Criminal Court and determined that the security officers who they say killed their loved ones not enjoy absolute impunity.

Javier Milei electrified crowds with his vows to destroy Argentina’s corrupt political elite. But after six months as president, Milei has made a choice that many fear could undermine his central promise.

A worsening budget crisis at Argentina's public universities is sending thousands of protestors into the streets as libertarian President Javier Milei pushes ahead with radical austerity measures.

Argentina’s annual March 24 commemoration of the 1976 military coup that ushered in the country’s violent right-wing dictatorship is acquiring new urgency under the government of President Javier Milei.
