ARGENTINA
- President Milei said yesterday that his pact with the country’s governors will be delayed because his reform bill hasn’t been passed yet in congress. Milei had originally said the pact, a list of ten goals for his administration, would be signed on May 25, but local media report that it could be signed on June 20 or July 09 instead.
- Separately, Milei said that two investment funds are interested in the country’s railway network without providing further details.
