Argentina and US sign free trade deal

Argentina and the United States have reached an expansive trade deal, a win for Argentine President Javier Milei as he moves to open up the South American nation’s notoriously protectionist economy and a reflection of the close alliance between the radical libertarian and U.S. President Donald Trump. Argentina’s foreign minister, Pablo Quirno, announced the deal's signing on social media on Thursday. The countries reached a framework for the agreement last November, saying Argentina would ease restrictions on a range of American imports, including cattle, dairy products, medicines, chemicals, machinery, medical devices and vehicles. Those were key concessions for Argentina, whose industries have expressed concern about their ability to compete with American manufacturers.
