In February 2026, Argentina and the United States signed a comprehensive trade agreement, marking a significant step in their deepening alliance. The deal, a key achievement for Argentine President Javier Milei, aims to open Argentina's economy by reducing reciprocal tariffs and expanding quotas for key exports, including Argentine beef. The United States will eliminate tariffs on over 1,600 Argentine products, while Argentina will eliminate tariffs on over 200 American products, including machinery and pharmaceuticals. The agreement also seeks to attract greater American investment in Argentina. While free-trade supporters applaud the move, some Argentine industrialists have expressed concerns about increased competition from imports.
