Argentine Economy Minister Luis Milei announced that a solution to the country's currency crisis is being worked on, potentially through an IMF program or private agreements. He stated that all Argentines will be able to use their preferred currency in daily transactions, except for tax payments which will remain in pesos. Milei also emphasized his administration's goal of eliminating trade barriers within Mercosur and reducing the common external tariff. Additionally, he expressed a desire to promote a free trade agreement with the United States, which has been delayed for 19 years, and is now seeking support from US President-elect Donald Trump after his inauguration on January 20.
