Following a meeting on Tuesday last week on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, US President Donald Trump described his Argentinian counterpart, Javier Milei, as a truly fantastic and powerful leader. He told reporters, I'm doing something I don't often do I'm giving my full endorsement to him. The next day, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that he was working in close coordination with President Milei and would do what is necessary to support Argentina's economy.

The United Nations reimposed sanctions on Iran early Sunday over its nuclear program, further squeezing the Islamic Republic as its people increasingly find themselves priced out of the food they need to survive and worried about their futures.

The ruling National Council for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD) party, led by President Evariste Ndayishimiye, faces little electoral threat after a series of moves neutralized its primary rival, the National Freedom Council (CNL).

Trump has passed no major legislation, and his economic interventions have had the opposite effect of Roosevelt's, injecting uncertainty into a healthy recovery and seeding an economic crisis.

Maybe that's why the President is calling. What could he possibly have to say? The film cleverly captures the bewilderment of billionaires facing global crises.
