Trump voters disapprove of $40 billion Argentina bailout: poll
Almost half of President Donald Trump’s voters disapprove of his administration’s bailout of Argentina, according to a new survey.
According to the poll by The Economist and YouGov, 48 percent of Americans who voted for Trump in the 2024 election said they disapprove of the U.S. government providing up to $40 billion in financial assistance to Argentina to help stabilize its economy, while just 30 percent said they approve. Twenty-two percent said they were not sure.
Overall, the poll found that 56 percent of voters disapprove of providing the aid to Argentina, while just 20 percent said they approve. Across all demographics, more Americans disapprove than approve of the bailout.

A worried Argentine President Javier Milei votes in his country's midterm elections today, where polls show his far-right coalition is headed for defeat.
President Donald Trump's public attempt to influence this year's Argentine midterms at U.S. taxpayer expense - which he appeared to believe were presidential elections during an October 14th White House meeting with Milei - have reaped him scorn from American and Argentine voters alike.
Over US$2 billion have been spent in Argentina by the U.S. Treasury Department in a bid to prop up the peso - to little effect. A sharp devaluation is expected tomorrow.
