Is he REALLY Trump's 'favourite President"? Didn't Trump impose aluminum tariffs? And now a 10% tariff, same the neighbouring countries have to pay. And according to MercoPress Trump is now making cutting ties with China a condition of an IMF loan. Other than as a source of lithium, I can't...

I don't know that many countries can just ignore the US. And just how important is Argentina to the nations that pay into the IMF?

I just read that Vietnam is backing down and wants to negotiate to avoid the high tariffs. Maybe Trump isn't all wrong. One thing I am not clear about: aren't there tariffs on importing wine to Argentina? I can't ever remember seeing a bottle of imported wine. There might be some but it...
