This follows a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >recent  billion currency swap agreement<\/a> between the U.S. and Argentina, announced shortly after Argentine President Javier milei, an ally of Trump, visited the White House. The move aims in part to counter China&#8217;s influence in the region, notably regarding China&#8217;s purchase of Argentine soybeans after halting U.S. soybean imports amid the trade war. Bessent highlighted that many banks and sovereign funds have shown interest in this private sector solution, which the administration has been working on for weeks. The declaration has caused discontent among American soybean farmers, who are awaiting their own bailout, with plans to use tariff revenues to support them currently stalled due to a government shutdown.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Bessent: Trump looks to double bailout package for Argentina with private sector help<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2373609\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Treasury Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/scott-bessent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scott Bessent<\/a> said on Wednesday that President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a> is exploring ways to funnel an additional $20 billion in aid from the private sector to ease <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/argentina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Argentina<\/a>&lsquo;s debt problems.<\/p>\n<p>Argentina&rsquo;s President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/javier-milei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Javier Milei<\/a>, a close ally of Trump, visited the White House earlier this week, just days after the Trump administration announced a $20 billion currency swap with Argentina.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3851272\/no-kings-protests-shutdown-what-to-know\/\">&#8216;No Kings&#8217;
