Trump Says Argentina Bailout Depends on Milei’s Party Winning Upcoming Elections

President Trump directly tied the $20 billion lifeline the U.S. is extending to Argentina to President Javier Milei’s success in the upcoming midterm elections.

“If he loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina,” Trump said, sitting across a table at the White House from the visiting South American leader, who he also endorsed for re-election in 2027. “If he doesn’t win, we’re gone.”
