U.S. and Argentina Deny Pause in Visa Waiver Process

Officials say the assessment remains active with ongoing technical coordination.

Overview

  • The U.S. Department of Homeland Security publicly rebuked an Axios report, saying on X that there was no new Visa Waiver document pending signature with Argentina.
  • Argentina’s Ministry of Security called the reports of a halt “absolutely unfounded” and stated the admission process continues.
  • Argentine Ambassador Alec Oxenford labeled the claims disinformation and said work toward the goal is proceeding.
  • Diplomatic sources reported recent coordination meetings, including one last Friday, while accounts of a canceled Washington session and a stranded delegation remain disputed.
  • ARCA chief Juan Pazo said his U.S. trip centered on customs-technology cooperation with CBP and noted Argentina must modernize outdated systems to meet program standards.
