The source provides an extensive overview of the Trump administration's $40 billion bailout of Argentina in October 2025, which aimed to prevent the nation's tenth sovereign default and stabilize its rapidly depreciating currency. The intervention, split between a U.S. Treasury currency swap and private financing, is portrayed as a multifaceted strategy driven by ideological solidarity between President Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei, whose libertarian reforms the aid supports.
