US VICE-PRESIDENT Mike Pence praised Argentinian President Mauricio Macri’s “bold reform agenda” of job cuts and fuel price rises on his trip to Buenos Aires on Tuesday.

“When Latin America embraces economic reforms, Latin America succeeds and so does the United States,” he said.

He praised Mr Macri’s pro-business policies, reversing years of social spending and rejection of US-based “vulture funds” under his predecessors.
