Argentina poverty surges by 1.7M; Kirchner trial set; oil tops $100

Argentina's poverty count rose by 1.7 million this year, reflecting deepening economic distress under Milei's austerity. Separately, the Hotesur-Los Sauces trial against Cristina Kirchner and her son is set to begin before year-end, and Milei meets with La Libertad Avanza lawmakers. Oil prices have again exceeded $100 per barrel, adding inflationary pressure.
