And this doesn’t even help the starving Argentinians, who are increasingly made poorer by the policies of a far-right Milei government that Trump supports. Lose-lose.
Trump is sending ARGENTINA $20B and increasing their beef imports while STARVING AMERICAN FAMIILIES.
There's funding available to help keep food benefits, but Trump just doesn’t want to provide it.
What'll it take for him to start leading the country he actually lives in?

A horrifying, necessary read.
Experts say that some effects of starvation in Gaza can be permanent. And for the severely malnourished, simply starting to eat normal meals again can cause sickness—even death. https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/what-comes-after-starvation-in-gaza
