US will make up to $7 billion in loans to help Trump ally Milei tap Argentina’s oil and minerals
The Trump administration wants to put billions of dollars into Argentina’s energy and mining industries. It announced plans Wednesday to make up to $7 billion available for loans to projects through next year. The money would help companies buy American equipment and hire U.S. contractors to build railways, pipelines and ports. Washington wants energy and critical minerals closer to home and less reliance on China, while Argentine President Javier Milei, a close Trump ally, is counting on exports to revive the economy and bring in dollars. The plan would help connect Argentina’s mineral deposits and shale fields to ports on its Atlantic coast.
