Argentina's Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, defended the Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, following the controversial trip of the official's wife with the official delegation on the tour of New York. He stated that 'what he did did not cost the Argentines a single cent.' 'I believe in Manuel, I support him to the death,' said the official, who emphasized that there were no costs to the State and that the transfer of Bettina Angeletti generated a problem in the Government. He dismissed that it is a moral and ethical problem for the libertarian management and insisted that the coordinating minister is 'an honest official.' 'He is an extraordinary person.'
