The Wall Street Journal reported today (October 22): "The United States is trying to undermine the relationship between Argentina and China. The Trump administration is urging Argentine officials to limit China's influence in this South American country. According to sources, U.S. Treasury officials have told senior Argentine officials that they hope U.S. companies become the main source for Argentina's telecommunications and internet industry, rather than companies associated with China."
[Witty] Comment: Argentina's economy is relatively complementary with China, but its strengths also clash with those of the United States. At this time, cutting ties with China and aligning with the United States would be like amputating one's own arm, wouldn't it? Although Milei, this "little Trump," is close to the United States and shares ideological alignment with Trump, can Argentina's economic calculations be clear? Regarding soybeans, Argentina has respected its national interests by reaching a commercial contract with China, which even Trump considered as a betrayal by Argentina. Next, we hope Argentina will make the right choices in other areas as well.
