Story summary

On September 15, Argentina's government submitted its 2027 budget proposal to Congress, outlining President Javier Milei’s economic plan ahead of the October 2027 presidential election. The bill forecasts GDP growth at 4% in 2027, up from an expected 3% this year, with a projected trade surplus of over $15 billion next year. Annual inflation is predicted to drop to 18%, down significantly from the current estimate of 29%. The budget, which includes increased defense spending, aims to serve as Milei’s economic roadmap and could influence his campaign strategy before the election. After review by the budget committee, it will move to Congress for approval; failure to secure passage would revert Argentina to using last year's budget.

🔮 While Ramaswamy, 41, faced sharp backlash over his ad campaign, Trump continued to back the Republican candidate and accused the media of a coordinated attack to undermine his chances.

Acton issued a statement in October saying that she and her brother had “endured abuse, hunger, and neglect” as children. “Between the ages of 10 and 12, I was sexually abused by her husband, while my birth mother did nothing to protect me,” she said.
