The Argentine opposition including the Peronistas accuses Trump of "extorting the Argentine people" by offering the country $50 billion on the condition that Milei's party emerged victorious in last Sunday's congressional election. And that's exactly what happened. Trump reacted by basically saying he assumed that Washington had something to do with the electoral outcome, and hoped that that was the case. And it was. Those Washington policymakers and pundits who accused Russia of violating US sovereignty by influencing the 2016 presidential elections must be cringing at Trump's bluntness. The alleged Facebook ads that Moscow supposedly paid - according to the Russiagate scandal - pales in comparison to the $50 million bribe that US taxpayers paid to ensure Milei's victory.
