According to a photo of a private text on the phone of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Argentina responded to the treasury secretarys $20 billion bailout by turning around and removing its export taxes on soybeans and striking a huge new deal with China. That diminished the price of U.S. soybeans and weakened U.S. trade leverage with China, which immediately pulled out of its existing arrangements with soybean farmers in Americas heartland.
Thats right. Trump gave $20 BILLION of your tax dollars to Argentina, which allowed them to reduce their own taxes while making a deal with China that left the American farmers begging for socialist handouts. You fucking suckers and losers keep voting against yourselves.
