President Donald Trump has punished most U.S. trading partners with tariffs and threats, but he has lavished favours on Javier Milei's Argentina, including a $20 billion bailout of its currency. Why has Argentina succeeded in getting such favourable treatment where other countries have failed?
Trump’s generosity to Argentina has caught the attention of trade partners and U.S. ranchers
Yeah, Poland to North Korea was just the most extreme case I could find. With direct distance from Warsaw to Pyongyang is 7556km, there is no driving option, while Caracas to Buenos Aries is 5101km. All three of these cases are most of a hemisphere, including inhospitable terrain.
And for comparison, direct route from Caracas to Washington DC is 3316km. We have a naval station in Virginia, as well as one in Florida (also one in Illinois which would be way more amusing if we hadn’t just torpedoed our relationship with Canada). San Juan, Puerto Rico, a place where all people born are full US citizens is 890km from Caracas.
Something tells me you don’t really understand south american geography
It’s closer for the Americans to sail on down to Venezuela than for the Argentinians to do anything.
… Granted, there’s like a dozen south american countries the gringos still have a chance to fuck up.
Ah, but does Trump understand this?
raises finger and opens mouth
lowers, closes, walks away
Bah there’s only two countries between them. Next you’re gonna tell me Canada and Guatemala are far apart or Poland and North Korea
Edit, I’m dumb, Venezuela borders Brazil
