- Peter Lamelas presented copies of his credentials to Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno on Monday, ending an 11‑month gap without a U.S. ambassador, and he is set to meet President Javier Milei today at the Casa Rosada.
- U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau phoned Quirno to convey support for Milei’s reform agenda and to discuss expanding economic cooperation, according to a State Department readout.
