Alec Oxenford confirmed an imminent 'very important' commercial agreement between the United States and Argentina.

Ambassador Alec Oxenford confirmed that Argentina and the United States will soon announce a highly significant trade agreement, reached during the recent meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Javier Milei.

In radio statements, the diplomat avoided providing concrete details due to a confidentiality agreement, but he emphasized the magnitude of the agreement: "I can't provide specifics, but I can say it's very important. The agreement was discussed in the cabinet meeting and President Trump participated actively."

Expectations for the announcement are growing in both Buenos Aires and Washington, since the pact could have a direct impact on the economic, energy, and investment agenda between both countries. "We're going to have very good news soon," Oxenford said in advance.

A historic meeting between Trump and Milei

The ambassador described the meeting between Trump and Milei as an "unprecedented milestone" in recent diplomatic history. He highlighted the reception of the Argentine president in front of the White House and the participation of the main figures from the U.S. cabinet.

"President Milei was received only by President Trump in front of the White House. That gesture already signals a level of trust and respect that is uncommon," Oxenford stated in a conversation with Eduardo Feinmann on Radio Mitre.

According to his account, the Argentine delegation participated in key meetings in the Oval Office and the cabinet room, as well as a joint press conference.

Those present included Scott Bessen (Treasury), Marco Rubio (State), Pete Hegset (Defense), Chris Wright (Energy), Suzy Wise (Chief of Staff), Jason Grill (Commerce), and the future U.S. ambassador to Buenos Aires, Peter Lamelas.

Cooperation, respect, and shared vision

When asked about criticism from Argentine opposition sectors warning of an alleged loss of sovereignty, Oxenford rejected those claims and highlighted the respectful and constructive nature of the relationship with the United States.

"I see a friendly country that wants to help another friendly country progress. A prosperous Argentina is good for everyone: for Argentines, for regional security, for the United States, and for the world," he emphasized.

The ambassador also mentioned that the impact of the meeting will go beyond the commercial aspect: "We're going to realize the significance of this meeting when agreements start to emerge in many areas."

Trump and Milei: a strategic alliance underway

Regarding the context of the joint press conference, Oxenford clarified that there were no conditions or hidden clauses behind Trump's remarks about the "midterm election." "The statement was taken out of context and President Trump himself clarified it that same night," he pointed out.

Finally, the ambassador anticipated that the coming months will show the concrete effects of this new stage, characterized by renewed cooperation in trade, energy, and security. "The support was total, solid, and aligned with a shared vision," he concluded.
