Pope Leo arrived in Argentina and told Milei that people, not the economy, should come first, according to a report from PBS NewsHour. The article, written by Isabel DeBre of The Associated Press, carries the headline that frames the pope's message as a choice between people and economic priorities.
PBS NewsHour reported that Argentina is the most sensitive stop on Leo's South American tour, calling the visit "by far the most politically delicate" of the trip. The tour covers three nations in total, according to the same summary, and the summary does not rank the other two.
The report also said Leo will confront the legacy of Francis, the Argentine-born pope who, according to PBS NewsHour, never returned home during his 12-year pontificate. The summary describes that legacy as complicated, and says the visit puts it directly before the new pope.
The available summary does not describe the conversation between Leo and Milei beyond the headline's account that the pope said people should come before the economy. It does not report Milei's response, the events of the visit, or any statements from officials on either side, and those details are not included in the material used for this report.
PBS NewsHour carried the report, which lists Isabel DeBre of The Associated Press as its author. Its summary is the sole source for the details above.
