ARGENTINA FIRST! “Argentina is fighting for its life. Nothing is benefiting Argentina; they’re fighting for their life,” Trump told reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday. He was answering a question about U.S. farmers who feel the deal is benefiting Argentina over them.

This is Adam - a dual UK-Estonia national.
He has been using digital ID in Estonia for almost a quarter of a century.
He tells us about some of the benefits of digital ID.
Great video of someone's personal experiences with it, put out by the government via the DSIT.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.
Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."
