The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
The agreement delivers a major win by eliminating trade barriers and opening markets for American exporters across vehicles, agriculture and manufacturing. The new beef quota and streamlined regulations create real opportunities while strengthening hemispheric supply chains with a reliable South American partner.
Anti-Trump narrative
This deal devastates American soybean farmers while China buys fewer soybeans than under Biden. The agreement also forces massive concessions from Argentina in exchange for vague promises, essentially bailing out Argentine agriculture so they can sell to China instead of supporting domestic American producers.
