Trump set to bail out Argentina, irking some in America First camp
I don't think there's too much doubt that President Trump himself personally has instructed Secretary Bessent and the Treasury Department to come to Argentina's aid and support President Milei because President Trump wants to support President Milei, said Douglas Rediker, chairman of International Capital Strategies, which advises institutional investors.
By trying to solve his allys problem, Trump is creating fresh headaches for himself. American farmers, among the presidents most loyal supporters, were outraged this past week when Argentina suspended its 26 percent export tax to encourage China to place a massive order for soybeans even as Washington was preparing to help Milei.
Amid Trumps ongoing tariff war with Beijing, American farmers have seen their once-plentiful Chinese orders drop to zero.
Argentinas success in supplanting them in the Chinese market while receiving U.S. financial help has raised questions about the Trump administrations priorities.
We are uncompetitive in that China market due to government policy. On the other hand, our government gives that financial bailout to a foreign country who in turn makes their prices more competitive and sells into a market that were unable to access, said Caleb Ragland, who grows soybean, wheat and corn on about 4,500 acres of land in Larue County, Kentucky.
