News today that the Trump admin is seeking private funding to sweeten the deal to $40B:

There's also this eye-catcher in the article:

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.

So this "bailout" is a bribe for the voters in Argentina to support Milei.

MAGA - Make Argentina Great Again

This bailout is honestly mind boggling to me. Argentina is directly competing with embattled American soy bean farmers (due to crop rotation, that's most of them). Why is Argentina getting a bailout, but not farmers? US soybean exports were ~$25B last year

We need to be hammering this point, because it's one even conservatives can agree is wrong

Because Milei is also an embattled right wing nut job who frequently says nice things about orange man on TV.
