He aims to cut state intervention, scrap price controls, ease currency convertibility, and pivot foreign policy toward closer US ties while loosening links with Venezuela and Iran. He has a history as Boca Juniors president and a 1991 kidnapping ordeal shaped his entry to politics.

Mars may form ring from shattered Phobos near Mars
Phobos spirals toward Mars and could break apart into fragments that form a planetary ring, potentially making Mars the only inner solar system world with a ring. If all at once the satellite shatters, the ring could unfurl within days to weeks, with observers on Mars possibly seeing a bright arc in the sky. Researchers note Phobos’ doom results from Mars gravity and its fragile structure, leaving its precise fate uncertain.
