Argentine President Javier Milei is seeking help from former US President Donald Trump to secure funds from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) while negotiating trade tariff exemptions. This comes as Milei faces backlash at home for promoting the memecoin LIBRA, which investors claim was a rug pull project. Milei hopes a new IMF agreement will stabilize Argentina's struggling economy. However, controversy over LIBRA, which briefly increased in value before collapsing, has overshadowed his diplomatic efforts. Fraud complaints have been filed against Milei, and opposition leaders are pushing for impeachment proceedings. Milei's leadership style is now being questioned, despite his efforts to improve the country's economy.
