Export-Import Bank

Description

Toby unleashes the Export-Import Bank's promise like a thunderbolt in the rain-lashed Mural Room: a billion dollars in loans surges forth to bankroll President Nimbala's purchase of American AIDS drugs, forging the steel spine of a ruthless bargain. This government-backed lender wields export credit as U.S. coercion, dangling massive financing to compel military raids, customs seizures, and health ministry lockdowns against black-market pills flooding the crisis. Toby's conviction binds the bank to Josh's congressional machinations, transforming fiscal firepower into diplomatic shackles that force Nimbala's humiliated capitulation amid his country's desperate survival plea.
