He criticized President Javier Milei's austerity programs and cuts affecting social services, emphasizing that the economy must serve people instead of the other way around. Milei, known for his close ties with US President Donald Trump, defended his spending cuts as necessary to stabilize the economy. However, the pope urged Milei to prioritize people's well-being and act prudently in their decisions. The visit is the first papal trip to Argentina in nearly four decades and comes as the country prepares for a presidential election in 2027.",
