Patricia Bullrich firmará histórico acuerdo de cooperación con el FBI

Overview

  • Argentina’s National Security Ministry announced it signed two agreements with the FBI to strengthen efforts against terrorism and organized crime.
  • One pact establishes information exchange and technical cooperation between the FBI and Argentina’s National Counterterrorism Center to target terrorism and its financing.
  • A second agreement focuses on training and technological support involving the FBI, the Federal Police’s investigative unit, and the security ministry.
  • The announcements were presented alongside a reported $20 billion Argentina–U.S. currency swap that local reports describe as a pillar of U.S. support for Milei’s government.
  • The steps build on recent high-level contacts, including Milei’s White House meeting with President Donald Trump and July talks between Security Minister Patricia Bullrich and U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in Buenos Aires.
