Donald Trump threatened to retreat American financial assistance to Argentina if president Javier Milei lost the upcoming elections. The U.S. president placed a condition erstwhile he met Miley in the White House.
The US agreed to make $20 billion available to Argentina as part of a abroad exchange swap, i.e. common exchange between countries. The aim is to prevent a possible financial crisis in this country.
Denial of election motives
Trump denied that the swap had to do with the willingness to aid the Mileia coalition in the parliamentary elections scheduled for October 26. erstwhile asked about the compatibility of this motion with the doctrine of "Americana First", he replied that it was about "supporting good financial philosophy" of Mileia.
"Argentina is 1 of the most beautiful countries I have always seen, and we want it to succeed. It's simple. I mean, we don't gotta do this. It won't substance much to our country, but it will substance to South America. If Argentina succeeds, others will follow in her footsteps, and many others follow in her footsteps," Trump said.
Warning of Election Failure
"If the president does not win - I know who he will run against, I think that most likely (...) this individual is highly left-wing and confesses the doctrine that has forced Argentina into this problem - then we will not be so generous towards Argentina" - warned the American President. Trump added, "He (Milei) should win, and if he wins, we will be very helpful to him. And if he does not win, we will not waste time due to the fact that we will have individual whose doctrine has no chance to make Argentina large again."
Trump besides warned that Argentina should not trade besides much with China. China began buying large quantities of soybean from Argentina after stopping purchases of this product from American farmers.
Mileia reaction and economical situation
The Argentine president, known for his radically free marketplace views, thanked Trump for his support. He claimed that it would aid "to overcome the problems Argentina is struggling with due to opposition attacks".
U.S. support was a reaction to the sharp decline in the Argentine peso course and attempts by the central bank to keep the course, which depleted Argentine reserves. The extremist reforms, cuts and deregulation introduced by Mileia have helped stabilise inflation in the country, but have besides led to a decline in its quotations.
In early October, Mileia La Libertad Avanza's organization clearly lost in the Buenos Aires local election with a peronist opposition. Finance Minister Scott Bessent supported Trump, claiming that the current crisis in Argentina is the consequence of the "100 years of bad economical policy" of the platformists.
