Bailing out Argentina for $40 billion (initially $20 billion) only to see them turn around an immediately drop their soybean prices to make up for Chinese imports from the US was a slap in the face.
(By the way, the Argie peso is in freefall since our dollar injection, meaning our “investment” [more like a gift] is already down almost 10%.)
Didn’t Trump and Doge run on stopping foreign aid? $40 billion ain’t chump change.
