• U.S. Ambassador Peter Lamelas said the United States is committed to strengthening ties with Argentina and pointed to new opportunities for investment and trade.
• President Javier Milei framed the U.S. backing as help to sustain his reform program and to counter kirchnerismo as he seeks momentum before the legislative vote.
