Trump warns Argentina of aid cut if elections don't favor US interests
President Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw assistance from Argentina if its internal politics don't align with U.S. interests in upcoming elections. The comments were made during a meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei, who faces midterm elections later this month. Trump criticized an opponent as "extremely far-left" and warned that U.S. support would not continue if Milei doesn't succeed. The U.S. has provided $20 billion in aid to Argentina, which Trump described as helping a "great philosophy" take over. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed confidence in Milei's coalition continuing its reform agenda.
