Way to make America great again: Cheap beef to US consumers who are stressed by Trump’s tariffs caused inflation, putting US ranchers out of business. While in debting America with billions dollar loans to Argentina.
What’s the attraction to Argentina?
We’re making loans to Argentina we can’t afford, bankrupting American farmers giving Argentina their markets, and now looking to take business away from American ranchers, mostly GOP supporters, what’s up with all that?

Trump is bailing out Argentina with $40 billion while leaving American farmers twisting in the wind. At this point, it’s obvious he doesn’t want them to succeed.
I’m calling it now: this is going to turn into a land grab for pennies on the dollar.
