Overview

  • Foreign minister Pablo Quirno met U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Washington to work through final technical details and is scheduled to be received by Secretary of State Marco Rubio today.
  • Argentine officials say the pact is practically closed, with both sides coordinating the moment of a public announcement under a confidentiality agreement that limits disclosure of terms.
  • Reported elements under discussion include a fourfold increase in the U.S. quota for Argentine beef to 80,000 tonnes and tariff relief for roughly 100 products.
  • Quirno and his team held investor outreach with the Meridian International Center, the Council of the Americas, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, drawing interest from firms in energy, technology, pharmaceuticals, and mining.
  • The rollout has been shaped by U.S. domestic considerations, including debate over recent Treasury assistance to Argentina and the now-ended federal government shutdown, as the administration sequences multiple trade announcements.
