Farmers would get payments from funds redirected from Argentina.

This bill would stop the U.S. Treasury from using a special fund to help Argentina's financial markets. Any money from ending existing financial deals with Argentina would instead go to American farmers. Farmers whose crops were hurt by lost export markets in 2025 would get one-time payments.

What Would Change

Today, the Department of the Treasury's Exchange Stabilization Fund can be used for various financial market stabilization purposes, potentially including financial support to foreign countries like Argentina. This bill would prohibit the Treasury from using this fund to provide direct or indirect financial support to Argentina. Instead, any money from ending existing financial contracts with Argentina would be used to provide one-time economic assistance payments to American farmers impacted by lost export markets in 2025.

Key Provisions

Would stop the U.S. Treasury from using a special fund to give financial support to Argentina until December 10, 2027.
Would require the Treasury to sell or end any existing financial deals with Argentina that break this new rule within 7 days of the bill becoming law.
Would require the Treasury to give any money from selling or ending those deals to the Department of Agriculture.
Would require the Department of Agriculture to make one-time payments to farmers whose crops were hurt by losing export markets in 2025.
