According to people familiar with the matter, advisers to Argentine President Javier Millet have told the Trump administration that they are currently unable to get enough votes in Congress to approve the bilateral trade agreement signed between the two sides in February this year. Those who asked to discuss the private talks anonymously said that since the US Supreme Court ruled on President Donald Trump's global tariff policy, the Millay administration wants to renegotiate the relevant provisions. Although Trump has called Millet “my favorite president,” US policymakers flew to Buenos Aires in recent weeks to send a clear message: renegotiations are not being considered, as it would set a precedent for other countries to seek better conditions. People familiar with the matter said that the US side is urging Argentina to ratify the agreement and believes that the Millay administration currently lacks a consistent legislative strategy or schedule.
