US-Banken suchen nach Sicherheiten, um das 20-Milliarden-Dollar-Rettungspaket für Argentinien zu finanzieren, berichtet das WSJ

Give us Messi for the World Cup and we’ll give you 20 billion.

From the very short article- Bankers are waiting on guidance from the Treasury Department on what collateral Argentina would be able to provide for them or if Washington would plan to backstop the facility on its own, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.

The loan facility has not been finalized and might not come together if the banks‘ collateral question is not resolved, the report said.

„Discussions on this facility remain ongoing, and we look forward to sharing more details once these talks are complete,“ a U.S. Treasury spokesperson told Reuters.

JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup did not immediately respond to Reuters‘ requests for comment.

Argentina’s central bank said on Monday it signed a $20 billion [exchange rate stabilization agreement](https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/argentinas-central-bank-says-it-signed-20-billion-currency-swap-deal-with-us-2025-10-20/) with the U.S. Treasury Department, providing a total of $40 billion in U.S. support for Latin America’s third-largest economy. The Treasury has also bought Argentine pesos in the open market.

The U.S. facilities are also raising the possibility of a conflict between the IMF and the Treasury Department, with officials from the fund concerned that the Trump administration could pressure Argentina to put the U.S. liabilities ahead of the IMF’s sizable loans, the WSJ report said.

The IMF did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Argentina is the escape plan. If shit goes south in 2026 guarantee the admin flees to Argentina

Good luck with that.

So they’ve given $40B to Argentina in the hopes it keeps their guy in power? Meanwhile DOGE closed USAID which costs $34B…

US gave 20 billions to Argentina, China stop buying due to tariffs : art of the deal.

Its another billionaire bailout on the backs of US taxpayers.

Sounds like the US is putting Argentina in a difficult spot and plans to seize assets if/when the loan fails

„I’ll give you 40 billion, but you have to buy a billion in trump coin with the money.“

concept of a bailout?

Have Trump co-sign?

Heritage Foundation and Atlas Network pushed Milei as Argentina’s Donald Trump. They lauded his austerity measures of taking a chainsaw to government programs as a success so they have to keep him propped up for reelection. Plus Trump and Bessent’s Wall Street friends/donors who bought up the country’s debt are too big to fail so taxpayers forced to float them while SNAP benefits end November 1.

But we don’t have the money to pay our employees. We’re busy propping up a South American populist who spends his time rocking out with his Rolling Stones cover band.

Should I pull my money??
