Economic Gamble and Influx of Interest in Argentina

Attracted by Argentina’s right-wing libertarian president Javier Milei, and fearful of political breakdown and even the prospect of a widescale war in the northern hemisphere, some US citizens say they are planning to move to the South American nation to start afresh.

What will these converts to Argentina find there, and will it match their expectations?
