This is the best summary I could come up with:


Far-right libertarian outsider Javier Milei has won Argentina's presidential run-off poll, according to provisional results.

Mr Milei's proposals, which included detonating the central bank, won support with voters desperate for change.

Posting on X, he said the US would "look forward to building on our strong bilateral relationship based on our shared commitment to human rights, democratic values, and transparency".

South American leaders have also been commenting on Mr Milei's victory, with Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva posting: "I wish good luck and success to the new government.

But Chile's President Gabriel Boric said he saluted Mr Milei "for his victory and Sergio Massa for his worthy recognition of defeat".
