Argentina in advanced talks to become destination for US deportations, New York Times reports
The agreement would support President Trump’s plan to deport millions by allowing U.S. deportees from third countries to be sent to Argentina, which has shown eagerness to strengthen ties.
- On January 30, 2026, The New York Times reported the U.S. and Argentina are in advanced talks after Juan Navarro sent a proposal involving Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, though no deal is finalized.
- Amid Javier Milei's eagerness to court Washington, the pact would bolster President Donald Trump's push to expand removals to third countries, as Milei's government tightens immigration rules.
- Argentina agreed to take a few hundred deportees over two years, with deportees flown there and offered flights home, but officials warn of costs and limited infrastructure amid economic strain.
- Argentina’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond, while Tierra del Fuego government said they were kept in the dark about at least two private flights to Ushuaia.
- Similar third‑country pacts already exist in the region, including Paraguay, Ecuador, Honduras, and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called Argentina the 'centrepiece' of US strategy.
