Breaking-News >> WorldNews U.S. economic aid to Argentina depends on whether Millay can be re-elected? Trump's public warning arouses controversy
According to media reports such as the U.S. Newsweek, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his clear support for the re-election of Argentina's president, and publicly warned that U.S. financial aid to Argentina depends on whether Miley can continue to rule. Newsweek said that Trump met Millay at the White House that day. They had lunch and took a group photo. Trump praised Millay and reiterated his support for the latter's re-election bid."If he loses, we will not be so generous to Argentina." Until the announcement, Argentina had not responded to the news, however, it was that Trump had released similar support signals during the United Nations General Assembly in September, when he delivered a printed copy to Millie with a post he posted on his social platform to support Millie. Trump’s remarks sparked controversy on social platform X. Some netizens said, “It’s funny that the same country has said it’s not allowed anyone to interfere with their elections.” Some netizens ironically said, “America: If we do that, it’s not interfering in the election!” Argentina will hold mid-term parliamentary elections on October 26th, and re-elect half of the seats in the House of Representatives and one-third of the seats in the Senate. However, in early September, the ruling coalition "Freedom Forward Party" led by Milei lost the local council election, which was regarded as the vane of the mid-term election, and triggered turmoil in Argentina's financial market. Millais's sister was also involved in a bribery scandal. These factors have led to the continuous decline of Milei's approval rating. In order to fight for more seats in the midterm elections, the Milley government has planned an emergency consultation with the U.S. to curb the spread of the peso before the midterm elections and stabilize the domestic financial markets. On October 9, the U.S. Treasury Department announced a direct purchase of the Argentine peso and a $20 billion exchange framework agreement with the Argentine central bank, sparking controversy in the two countries. At the same time, Trump's explicit move to link his support for Millay's re-election to the US-Arab currency swap framework agreement attracted the attention of foreign media. Newsweek said this was an example of a U.S. president publicly linking foreign aid to the election success or failure of specific leaders. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said it is no secret that Trump supports Millay, but for a US president who has previously strongly opposed foreign interference in elections, he has clearly linked the recently announced US$20 billion currency swap between the United States and Argentina to Millay's electoral prospects, which is noteworthy.
