Last Fall when our own citizens were going hungry in a government shutdown, Trump sent Argentina $40 billion, and instead of buying meat, they bought donkeys they could fatten up to eat later?
No wonder Argentina's economy crashes every 2 years.
you are using the word billion incorrectly, a billion is a million million, and it was 20 thousand millons, not 40.
They are speaking English so a billion is a thousand million. There is no English speaking country anymore that uses long scale. So no English speaking country uses miljard for a thousand million.
So for context, in English billion is thousand millions, but in Spanish is a million millions (so, an English trillion)
They gave using the English definition.
Actually, it was a million million in english as well. It's a thousand million in simplified (american) english, and for some reason, we just ended up kowtowing to their bullshit.
