President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to pull assistance for Argentina — led by a political kindred spirit whose philosophy is similar to that of the Republican administration — if the nation’s internal politics don’t align with his interests in upcoming elections.The comments came during a meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei, whose country is set to hold midterm elections for its legislative body later this month. U.S. presidents typically do not weigh in on the candidates in other countries’ democratic elections. Even so, Trump insisted that the $20 billion assistance to Argentina, which administration officials strenuously deny is a bailout, was about helping “our neighbors” rather than any ties to the upcoming midterms.“It’s just helping a great philosophy take over a great country,” the U.S. president said. “Argentina is one of the most beautiful countries that I’ve ever seen, and we want to see it succeed. It’s very simple.”There has been no word on how Argentina, the IMF’s largest debtor, will end up paying the U.S. back for this $20 billion, which comes on top of IMF’s own loan for the same amount in April. And that one came on top of an earlier IMF loan for $40 billion.Despite all the help, Milei’s government already missed the IMF’s early targets for rebuilding currency reserves.“The U.S. should be concerned that Argentina has had to return and ask for for $20 billion so quickly after getting $14 billion upfront from the IMF,” said Brad Setser, a former Treasury official now at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Trump sending billions to his dictator friends while getting his base to hate brown people even though they bring a net positive to our society and economy,This is not about economy it’s now even about hate of Spanish speaking people. We are giving 20 billion to a Spanish speaking country that supports Trump. This is about control. This is about Trump seizing the levers of power and enriching himself.Oh did we mention that they have bought millions in Argentina currency and talked openly about how much money they will make when they increase the value of the Argentinian currency with 20 billion of our tax dollars

>There has been no word on how Argentina, the IMF’s largest debtor, will end up paying the U.S. back for this $20 billion Well you see, it'll work the same way as Argentina's IMF loan; they fucking won't. Ever. The country will go under before they do, but at least Milei and co get a golden parachute.

I'm glad that we cut USAID and 15 million poors will die just so we can bankroll some fuckass failed libertarian country in South America with our taxpayer dollars because their government memed correctly

>Republican administration dumping taxpayer money into influencing governments in South America To be honest, this is an improvement. In the past Republican admins have given that money to fascist opposition groups to overthrow leftist governments. Offering the money as a direct bribe to keep a wildly unpopular right wing government in power is still unethical, but at least it's a step in the right direction?

Bessent just said they're considering giving them another 20 billion for 40 billion in bailouts. All while Argentina already cannot pay back the original swap line for potentially decades.

>Trump now giving $40 billion of US taxpayers' money to Argentina I'm sure this will encourage Republicans to vote for those of that party in the midterms next year, amirite MAGAts of /news/? Especially when before then Xmas this year will be financial hell for them. They'll remember that. Now explain to those voters why they should do as you say while having nothing, and liking it?

He got a good deal from Qatar. They sent a spiffy jet and all they got in return is a chunk of land in Idaho. That is truly the Art of the Deal.
