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.

Where are all the Republicans upset at "foreign aid"? Handouts are only good for governments campaigning on austerity, and none for those actually trying to do something good for their people?

They do get upset about such things, but it's not enough to move the needle. If you talk to them, they're mad as hell about this administration, but no way in hell they'll vote D. Because somehow the Democrats would be worse.
