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.

🔮 US midterm campaign enters final weekend as Alaska, California ballot fights heat up AI generated WASHINGTON/ANCHORAGE – President Donald Trump’s administration pressed a criminal investigation into Alaska’s pivotal US Senate race and said on Oct 31 it would likely take its fight over thousands of California mail-in ballots to the Supreme Court, as the midterm campaign for control of Congress entered its final weekend. In Alaska, federal prosecutors are investigating whether aides to Democratic challenger Mary Peltola helped to recruit a retired schoolteacher, Daniel J. Sullivan Jr, to run because his name is similar to the Republican incumbent, Senator Dan S. Sullivan. The closely contested race is seen as crucial to Democrats’ hopes of taking the Senate in the Nov 3 vote.
