Trump Floats Free Trade Deal with Argentina Amid Strengthening Ties

 

President Donald Trump hols a framed letter that Argentina's President Javier Milei presented to him during a meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House, Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025, in Washington.

In a move that could reshape U.S.-South American economic relations, President Donald Trump has suggested the possibility of a free trade agreement with Argentina. The announcement came during a high-profile meeting at the White House with Argentine President Javier Milei, where both leaders emphasized their growing partnership.

The discussion followed Washington’s recent $20 billion currency swap extended to Buenos Aires, a lifeline aimed at stabilizing Argentina’s struggling economy. Trump described the support as part of a broader strategy to deepen cooperation, stating, “We want to help Argentina. We want to see it succeed.”

For Argentina, a trade deal with the United States could open new markets for its agricultural exports and attract investment, while for Washington it represents an opportunity to strengthen influence in South America at a time of shifting global alliances.

Although no formal negotiations have been launched, the prospect of a free trade agreement underscores the close relationship between Trump and Milei, who has aligned himself with the U.S. leader on economic and political priorities.
