GOP Blocks Warren Bill Against Trump’s $40B Argentina Bailout
Senate Democrats, including Elizabeth Warren, have criticized the Trump administration’s $20 billion bailout of Argentina, led by far-right President Javier Milei, while American families face rising costs and social program cuts. Sen. Tim Scott blocked the “No Argentina Bailout Act,” arguing the bailout supports an important ally, despite criticisms that Argentina undermines U.S. soybean exports and potentially benefits Trump allies with significant investments in the country. Democrats suggest the bailout is politically motivated, as it aligns with Argentina’s upcoming midterm elections, and comes amidst a government shutdown.
