Argentine police clash with protesters demonstrating against Milei's budget cuts

Police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse a large protest in Argentina against President Javier Milei's austerity measures, particularly those affecting public universities. The demonstration, the fifth of its kind, saw clashes and underscored growing opposition to the government's economic policies.

This unrest occurs as Milei seeks foreign investment, recently addressing US business leaders and meeting with Trump-era officials. Meanwhile, a Chilean minister's disparaging remarks about Milei, later retracted, highlight regional tensions and the president's controversial international standing.
