The Argentine government seeks a swift congressional approval for an agreement with the United States, but acknowledges that discussions will not commence until March.
The Argentine government is eager to expedite the congressional approval of its agreement with the United States. However, various sources indicate that the actual debate regarding this accord will only begin when the ordinary sessions of Congress resume in March. Thus far, there have been no preliminary polls among Congress members or provincial governors to gauge the acceptance level of the agreement, and legislative factions are awaiting the specifics of the proposal to establish their positions.
Interestingly, while the government anticipates moving forward swiftly with this agreement, it faces a delay similar to the recent agreement between Mercosur and the European Union, which was included in the extraordinary agenda for February. In light of this, the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies has expressed optimism about the arrival of negotiations with the administration of Donald Trump being received by Congress, indicating that the Chamber of Deputies will likely be the starting point for consideration.
Overall, the government’s push for a quick resolution reflects a broader strategy to strengthen international relations and trade partnerships. However, the actual timing and content of the agreement remain uncertain, and how Congress will respond to the proposed terms in March could have significant implications for Argentina's economic prospects and foreign relations.
