History

Historical Context

The U.S.-Argentina Bilateral Trade Agreement, signed in 1992, marked a significant enhancement in economic relations, leading to a 30% trade increase. Following years of fluctuating ties, the U.S. designated Argentina a major non-NATO ally in 1998. Today, U.S. support for President Milei's reforms and a proposed $40 billion aid package reflect ongoing commitment to strengthen this partnership and address historical issues like Malvinas sovereignty.
