US Treasury Secretary: The United States is ready to provide financial support to Argentina.

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on September 22 that the United States is prepared to provide "large-scale and forceful" action to support Argentina financially, but specific measures will be announced after US President Trump meets with Argentine President Macri during the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 23. The Argentine financial markets have been in turmoil since a local election at the beginning of this month, casting a shadow over Macri's hopes for the midterm congressional elections in October. Analysts believe that the US government's support for Argentina is aimed at boosting Macri's chances in the election.
