BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- In Argentina, the words of U.S. President Donald Trump still echo.
"They are fighting for their life, they don't have money, they are fighting with all their might to survive," Trump told reporters traveling with him aboard Air Force One between Florida and Washington on Monday.
His remarks came in the context of the financial support that the U.S. Treasury approved this week for Argentina -- a $20 billion currency swap -- and the announcement that the United States would purchase Argentine beef as a way to lower meat prices domestically.
Trump's statements surprised many in the South American country, including several Argentine economists.
