Trump Administration Readies $20 Billion Bailout of Argentina and Trump Ally Javier Milei
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration is negotiating a $20 billion financial bailout
for Argentina amid a worsening economic crisis, largely due to austerity
measures enacted by embattled far-right Argentinian president, and Trump
ally, Javier Milei. Critics say the move contradicts Trump's so-called
America first policies by offering a lifeline to Milei ahead of
Argentina's midterm elections in October, which are critical to Milei
retaining power.
