The appointments of the new government of Javier Milei are little by little falling into place in Washington with progress in confirmations in key positions such as the embassy, ​​the Inter-American Development Bank, the World Bank and the Organization of American States (OAS) and the International Monetary Fund . Details of the form are missing, but Gerardo Werthein, Sonia Cavallo, Miguel Braun, Daniel Pierini and Leonardo Madcur have already assumed or are ready to take their positions . Businessman Gerardo Werthein, chosen by the president to occupy the diplomatic headquarters in the leading world power, obtained approval on Friday by the government of Joe Biden, although as a political ambassador he must still wait for confirmation from the Argentine Senate and a decree from Milei to to be able to fully exercise their position. The plácet application is a formal procedure that is used to request the approval of a government for an individual to exercise the diplomatic representation of a country in its territory. In this case, the White House carried out the corresponding checks and gave the green light to Werthein's management.

The economist also awaits Senate approval. Sonia Cavallo, the daughter of the former Minister of Economy, who resides in Washington and was appointed by Milei to the OAS.

He will replace the economist Cecilia Nahon, who had also been an Argentine ambassador during Kirchnerism.

Milei's team in Washington is completed by the Argentine representative to the International Monetary Fund, economist Leonardo Madcur, who immediately assumed his duties due to the urgency of negotiating the IMF program with Argentina. Madcur had been head of Economy advisors during the administration of Sergio Massa and joined the Milei government. He has solid experience in negotiations with the Fund (he has done so since the time of Minister Roberto Lavagna) and is respected among the organization's officials.
