Farmers Object to Trump's Argentina Bailout Plan
President Trump wants to give money to Argentina, but some farmers are angry.
They are upset because China is buying soybeans from Argentina instead of them, which is hurting their business.
This happened because of trade disagreements between the U.S. and China.
The farmers feel that helping Argentina while losing China's business is unfair.
Some politicians who support the farmers also question the bailout.
