My impression is that Trump understands that Fernández would rather not gravitate toward China - but will if the U.S. pressures the IMF to become unreasonable in debt rescheduling negotiations (Argentina can't pay $45 billion by '23, and they know it), or if the vulture funds are allowed to take Argentina's foreign bondholders hostage again (as they did in 2014).

If Trump, however, adopts a more pragmatic, cooperative policy (could it be!?) toward Argentina and its debt crisis, he'll surely find a far more responsible and trustworthy partner in Fernández, than he did in that con-man Macri.

It would be a shame if Trump or any of his "advisers" can't grasp the way to go with Fernandez. Judi Lynn Nov 2019 #5
