Air Force One during a flight from Florida to Washington. “If we

reasons, including drought and reduced imports from Mexico due
to a flesh-eating pest in cattle herds there.
Trump has been working to help Argentina bolster its collapsing
currency with a $20 billion credit swap line and additional
financing from sovereign funds and the private sector ahead of
midterm elections for his close ally, President Javier Milei.
