The Government of Javier Milei signed two agreements aimed at expanding logistical and technological cooperation with the United States, in a new step towards strengthening the bilateral and strategic relationship in Defense.
The announcement was made by the U.S. ambassador to Argentina, Peter Lamelas, who highlighted the scope of the initiatives: "We signed two key defense agreements that allow Argentina to access fuel at military prices worldwide, and become the first country in the hemisphere to join the U.S. Army's drone and counter-drone platform. This is how we build a stronger Argentina and hemisphere".
The agreements were formalized through Letters of Intent signed by Lamelas and the Argentine Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Carlos Alberto Presti.
Both documents represent a concrete advance in bilateral integration, especially in strategic areas for the current international scenario.
The signed agreements
One of the agreements aims to strengthen logistical support between both nations, particularly in the reciprocal supply of fuel under the Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement (ACSA), in effect since 2009.
This initiative will allow Argentina to access fuel under preferential conditions globally, optimizing the sustainment of its forces in combined exercises, operational deployments, and joint missions.
