Home Argentina’s President Javier Milei has instituted brutal austerity measures that have failed to save the country’s economy. But the far-right leader may soon get a bailout from his wealthy American buddies. And it seems unlikely that President Donald Trump and his goons will trot out the chainsaws for this one. They’re not cutting this time. They’re throwing Milei a life preserver. The Trump regime first signaled on Monday during the president’s appearance at the United Nations that it would lend a hand to Milei’s floundering economy. And Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent explained Wednesday that help was on the way. “The Treasury is currently in negotiations with Argentine officials for a $20 billion swap line with the Central Bank. We are working in close coordination with the Argentine government to prevent excessive volatility,” Bessent tweeted Wednesday.
