I have to give Trump credit where it is due for keeping his eye firm on putting America first. For years they have pointed out at the reforms Argentina was undertaking, that mirror what the Trump admin is doing now, as the model for success and as Argentina now faces collapse Trump realizes giving them welfare is what best puts America First, as the narrative that Argentina is the success model must survive even if propped up with US tax dollars.
And creating Trump's vision of turning Gaza into the new Riveria in the Middle East, with him being the ultimate authority on how it is redeveloped is also clearly core to an America First agenda.
So lets all applaud Trump and Magats who will hold to this 'America First' belief and not allow this to be yet another thing they show they never believed.

To some the offer of such a significant financial backstop also conflicts with the isolationist, America-First ideology at the center of Trump’s political program, especially at a time when U.S. lawmakers have already been battling over budgetary issues and spending cuts....

Trump's latest plan to end the war in Gaza contains the same tripwires as previous ones
U.S. president is offering Netanyahu most of what he wanted. The Palestinians? Much less so
Despite Donald Trump's hyperbole that his 20-point peace plan to end the war in Gaza will create "eternal peace" in the Middle East, it could be doomed for the many of the same reasons that killed earlier ceasefire hopes.The key sticking point in past ceasefire proposals has been the so-called day after in Gaza — the question of what will happen to the war-obliterated Palestinian enclave after Hamas releases the remaining Israeli hostages it has been holding for almost two years....
