Treasury Sec announced that they are considering giving an ADDITIONAL $20 Billion (on top of the $20B already promised if they vote for his guy) for a total of $40 BILLION DOLLARS of which Bessent's friends will directly profit.

We have no other interest in Argentina. They are not a major trading partner, nor do they hold any political or financial sway over the United States.

The cost to fully fund the subsidies? $35B. 🤬

    The U.S. has to use industrial policy to compete against nonmarket economies like China, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC.
    The Trump administration will set price floors across a range of strategic industries to combat Beijing, Bessent said.

The country is hemorrhaging money 💰. I know— let’s throw $20 BILLION at it to plug that wound.

Oh… and the #US government is STILL shut down. Civil servants aren’t working. And the #trump admin had to use R&D money to pay active-duty military.

Sounds like we got some good ‘ol ‘prudent fiscal strategy’ going on. Yeehaw!

So if you take a look at Latin America, it's a spotty look.

Argentina: soon to be annexed

Peru: turmoil, but central bank under control

Bolivia: resisting, but possibly fundamentally broken, a matter of time

Paraguay: taken

Chile: the pseudo-leftie government is about to fall, the far right will take it soon

Mexico: too big, too close, complicated, wait and see

Brazil: a pain in the arse, Bolsonaro didn't work, undermine harder, maybe force it to split.

Funny thing is that Bessent actually is a former Soros man!

Even if Milei loses the legislative mid-terms on October 29th, the US is already "convincing" centrist extremists that annexation / intervention is for their own good, making the very persuasive US case directly, mugging one representative after another, one governor after the next.

An invasion by a different name.

And the idiot Dems don't understand they are not paying for any of it, only confetti money.

Trump is making progress on the US plan to annex Argentina on the cheap for only $20B, not one shot fired.

Bessent and his oligarch friends stand to reap the most immediate rewards financially, whilst Thiel, Altman and others are more interested in the industrial and extractive uses of the territory.

Why should Americans pay $20 billion to bailout Argentinian dictator who failed with Trump-like policies? Follow the money!

It is indeed unfortunate that other countries react to the USA unilaterally placing tariffs on their products.

Why don't they just lie over on their back and let Trump do what Trump wants to do?

Our Administration and Congress do that, so why not them?

- -
And it seems that, just as last time, the majority of those tariffs that American importers pay will be paid on to the soybean farmers. Isn't MAGA great at creating self-inflicted wounds?

There is a 'Misconception' about the #Argentina '#Baylout'

Those BILLIONS of taxpayers dollars were not given to 'help' the Argentines
But
they were sent to ensure that the US multimilionaries (one is #musk)
who had invested in Argentina do not loose their money.
Now they can take back the investments they made drawing heavily from the 'Baylout'
before the economy collapses.

In practice
the #US #taxpayers have baylout the #US super-rich who have invested in Argentina
#Bessent organized it.

@Cederborg

I understand that the DNI ( Director of National Intelligence) is a moron but they could buy ´private screen filter’ for their phone for 10$ ( or less on Alibaba)

This level of incompetence and corruption ( bailout helping a hedge fund of a friend of the Secretary of the Treasury) ….

@z_everson

From this article, it looks as if the bailout of Argentina by Bessent, with $20 billion taxpayers' money, is pure corruption.

"A person familiar with the discussions" says Milei is toast. Only Bessent appears to be keeping the Milei government alive.

A person familiar with the discussions within the Trump administration about Argentina, indicated Milei’s star has dimmed in some corners in the administration. The person, who was granted anonymity to speak freely about the administration’s evolving approach to Argentina, said this policy is being mainly pursued by Treasury and expressed concerns about Milei’s ability to actually lift his country out of its economic doldrums.

“Milei is done politically, his sister is corrupt, his finance minister is an insider trader, and they have pissed away $15 billion in IMF money and $15 billion in central bank reserves propping up a crap currency, and now Treasury wants American taxpayers to double down on stupid,” the person said. The person added that Milei “was a fraud. Came in, betrayed all the conservatives and libertarians that supported him … it’s all a wash.”
