U.S. bailout for Argentina: White House plans $20 billion deal for Milei government [View all]
Now, then: This is the same Donald Trump, who bailed out the same Argentina, with the same Economy Minister (Miami-based money launderer Luis Caputo) - and for the same reason (to try to alter the results of an Argentine election not going the far-right's way) - in 2018.
Suffice it to say, it didn't work then. And the lent dollars? Squirreled away by Argentine elites and foreign speculators, leaving Argentina the (unpayable) tab.
