The Trump administration is carefully weighing a campaign to rescue Argentina’s economy and its wobbling president, Javier Milei. The signal that the Trump team’s getting extremely serious about the move: It has engaged the renowned international “Money Doctor” to explain the template for shifting South America’s second-largest economy to the greenback.
