{"id":"1794189202524-news-segment","slug":"trump-meets-qatar-pm-on-iran","title":"Trump Meets Qatar PM on Iran","summary":"Pope Leo XIV arrived in Buenos Aires on Sunday afternoon, November 8, after his stop in Uruguay, beginning a four-day Argentina visit as part of a 12-day South America tour. President Javier Milei greeted him at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery International Airport with military honors, national anthems, and a floral offering. On Monday, the Pope is scheduled to visit the Cottolengo Don Orione, a Catholic-run home for disabled people in Claypole, near Buenos Aires.\n\nThe visit has become a political flashpoint. It is the first papal visit to Argentina in nearly four decades, and it comes amid friction between the Vatican and Milei over austerity cuts, reductions to disability assistance, and Milei's support for the Iran war. In his first speech in Argentina, Leo said: “The economy must serve the person, not the person the economy,” a not-so-subtle criticism of Milei's libertarian approach.
