Also argentina immediately used this windfall to slash export taxes so they could replace American soybean farmers' China exports, and USAID was a major buyer of food from US farmers. Should be the easiest issue in the world for Ds to outflank trump
We're spending $20B to bail out Argentina, but they cut USAID down to the bone, causing deaths around the world. The entire budget of USAID, the whole agency, was $21B last year. Shameful.
The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

He was definitely hired *because* he's this kind of person, not in spite of it.
"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
