The United States is currently not channeling financial resources into Argentina, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

In a recent interview with CNBC, Bessent explained that the U.S.'s involvement is driven by a strategic interest to avert Argentina from becoming a failed state akin to Venezuela.

The U.S. government believes that a stable Argentina is crucial for regional stability and is thus keeping a close watch on developments in the country.
