Pool was brought in at 12:32 pm.

POTUS announced he was endorsing Milei for reelection.

POTUS: “I’m doing something I don’t often do I’m giving my fill endorsement to him. … The people of Argentina - we’re backing him 100 percent. He, like us, inherited a mess and what he’s done to fix it is good. … we need to make Argentina great again so it’s an honor for me to endorse.”

Milei thanked him and they shook hands.

POTUS answers a few questions about his endorsement and the bailout.

More POTUS: “We’re gonna help them but I don’t think they need a bailout. He’s doing a fantastic job.”
