  • Hello, welcome to News Hour from the BBC World Service.

  • My name's Paul Henley.

  • The programme's coming to you live from London.

  • The Argentinian president Javier Millay has hailed his party's decisive win in Sunday's midterm elections as a turning point for the country.

  • He's promised to forge ahead with his agenda of shrinking the state and deregulating the economy.

  • His party, la libertad avanza, rebounded from a series of setbacks to win over 40% of the vote.

  • Mr Millay predicted the most reformist congress in Argentinian history.

  • President Trump, whose administration granted a big aid package,

  • to Argentina congratulated Mr. Millay, whom he said had had a lot of help.

  • Mr. Trump was speaking to reporters on board Air Force One on his way to Japan.

  • That was a big win in Argentina.

  • I want to congratulate the victor and he was a big victor and he had a lot of help from us.

  • He had a lot of help.

  • I gave him an endorsement,

  • a very strong endorsement and it was really unexpected to have a victory of that.

  • Some people thought it would be hard to win and not only did he win, he went by a lot.

  • Well, I've been speaking to a supporter of President Millet in Parliament in Buenos Aires.

  • Diana Fernández Molero is an MP for the Republican Proposal Party,

  • which is closely allied to Millet's LLA.

  • This was more than an election.
