Argentina and the United States signed an agreement on reciprocal trade and investment, both countries confirmed on Thursday. A statement by Argentina’s Foreign Ministry said that the United States would eliminate reciprocal tariffs on 1,675 Argentine products, allowing an additional US$1 billion worth of exports. According to the communiqué, US$800 billion of that would come from the U.S. granting preferential access to 80,000 extra tons of Argentine beef this year, totaling 100,000 tons. Quirno also posted a photo of the agreement’s cover, but not of its content, which was made public a few minutes later. That announcement was heavily criticized, as the bulk of concessions appeared to fall on Argentina’s shoulders.
