The Guardian view on Trump’s Argentina bailout: it’s a political play, not an economic plan | Editorial
NegativeFinancial Markets

The recent $20 billion bailout for Argentina, led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, is raising eyebrows as it appears more like a political maneuver to support rightwing populist Javier Milei, a close ally of Donald Trump, rather than a genuine effort to stabilize the country's economy. This move is significant as it highlights the intertwining of US foreign policy and electoral strategies, suggesting that the US may prioritize political alliances over economic stability in Latin America.
