In 2018, Argentina and Turkey experienced significant changes in their exchange rates in the last 30 days, raising concerns about the potential consequences of the policies of then-President of the United States, Donald Trump. Experts mentioned that Trump's protectionist policy could lead to a widespread depreciation of currencies and a flight to the dollar, which would create complications for the Argentine economy.
The relationship between Trump, Bolsonaro, and Javier Milei, among others, and their actions toward traditional parliaments generated debates about possible international consequences. The possibility was raised for the Argentine government to nominate its own candidates for the legislative elections next year, which would imply a distancing from the PRO and previous political coalitions.
Strategic movements by various political actors in Argentina, such as Jorge Macri and Mauricio Macri, were observed in preparation for upcoming elections. On the other hand, discussions took place about the possible economic implications of Trump's victory, as well as the relationship between Trump and Cristina Kirchner in terms of leadership and political power.
The impact of Trump's victory was felt internationally, and there were expressions of celebration and reaffirmation by certain Argentine political sectors. Possible effects on the economy and international politics were noted, as well as the need to pay attention to local economic stability.
The possibility of an increase in interest rates in emerging countries was raised as a preventive measure against a potential flight of assets to the dollar. Additionally, discussions took place about the implications of Trump's concentration of power and its effect on global politics.
In the Argentine context, the evolution of real wages was analyzed, and the importance of economic and social aspects in political decision-making was highlighted. The relationship between Milei's government and the PRO became a topic of discussion, and speculation arose about possible electoral consequences of these political movements.
