The signing took place together with Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense during Donald Trump's administration, reaffirming military and political cooperation between both countries.
Minister Petri, who visited the Pentagon this week, took the opportunity to advance negotiations that have been part of the agenda since the beginning of President Milei's administration.
In particular, the incorporation of the 8x8 Stryker vehicles, known for their versatility and advanced technology, stands out as one of the most important defense acquisitions in recent years for the Argentine Army.
On his official X account, Minister Luis Petri stated: "Together with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, we signed the letter of offer acceptance for the acquisition of 8x8 Stryker armored vehicles for our Argentine Army".
He added: "Under President Milei's leadership, Argentina is once again investing in defense, modernizing its Armed Forces, and strengthening its strategic alliance with the United States, a key partner in the incorporation of state-of-the-art equipment, as already demonstrated with the F-16s".
