On Wednesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the U.S. is in talks to provide $20 billion to Milei. The announcement comes months after the Trump administration dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in an effort to instead support programs aligned with Trump's "America First" agenda.

Argentina is one of the biggest South American economies, and has notable natural resources, including oil, gas, uranium and lithium, which are often used in batteries.

Americans must love how much money Trump spends on his friends.

Probably not while grocery shopping, but still.

Plus it's foreign aid.

Like they give to the Israelis. Who have Universal Healthcare.

Yes but they're exterminating the untermenchen so we can have our master race; of course they get healthcare!
