Hmm, when a country sells more goods to the US consumer than it buys, it gets punished with tariffs. But when a country goes bankrupt because of irresponsible monetary policy, the US sends them a $20 billion rescue package.
The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

The US Navy or Coast Guard could have easily stopped this boat and done any number of things with the civilians on board besides executing them without a trial.
The US military "conducted a lethal strike" against an alleged "drug vessel" in the southern Caribbean, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.

Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed.
There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea.
Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
