Quote:US is working on doubling aid to Argentina to $40 billion by tapping private funding sources
The Trump administration is looking to provide an additional $20 billion in financing for Argentina through a mix of financing from sovereign funds and the private sector.
That would come on top of the $20 billion credit swap line that the U.S. Treasury pledged to Argentine President Javier Milei and his government this month to bolster the South American nation’s collapsing currency.
At a White House meeting Tuesday with Milei, Republican President Donald Trump said his administration wanted to help “our neighbors” with the aid package, but he also suggested that the money could be pulled if Milei’s party did not prevail in the Oct. 26 midterm elections.
“If he loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina,” Trump said.

I'd say "birds of a feather", but Trump is already hanging his support on a contingency. Typical Trump, leaving a back-door for himself and someone else holding the bag.
