The Spin

Trump again is prioritizing personal relationships over U.S. taxpayers, now to prop up the abjectly failed libertarian experiment that has devastated Argentina and pushed over half the country's population into poverty. It's unacceptable that American families struggling with their own economic challenges will be forced to subsidize Trump's ideological ally, who has proven incapable of managing his own country's finances.

Milei has achieved impressive fiscal consolidation and broad liberalization that layslay the foundation for Argentina's historic return to prosperity, so his government deserves support from the U.S. This is a good-faith geopolitical move to help a crucial strategic ally in countering Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere as well as to boost America's credibility with other allies in Latin America.
