The only reason Trump loves Milei is because Milei is constantly kissing up to him and kissing his ass. It is almost embarrassing. Argentina got the same tariffs as every other country in the region. Argentina is an awkward fit as a strategic partner like the NYT article mentions.

The two countries also sell many of the same things: corn, wheat, soybeans, meat, oil. Trade between them fell 8.6 percent to $16.3 billion last year. Argentina ranks 36th globally in buying American exports, according to the Observatory of Economic Complexity, a research group.

On Wednesday, Argentina, was still hit with the 10 percent minimum levy applied to nearly every country.

I get Milei needs to kiss ass to try to get the $20 billion in IMF $ but it sounds like that might not even come through.

 
I doubt the United States cares too much about Argentina. I'm sure Musk would love to get his hands on that lithium but Trump doesn't seem to care too much about Milei other than he likes Milei sucks up to him and worships him.
