US EditionUS-Argentina Trade Deal Cuts Tariffs, Boosts Beef Quota
The agreement eliminates hundreds of tariffs and raises Argentina's preferential beef quota to 100,000 tons, boosting trade and economic ties under President Milei's reforms.
- On Thursday, Argentina and the United States signed a trade and investment agreement in Washington, D.C., and Pablo Quirno, Argentina's Foreign Minister, said it includes critical-minerals provisions to secure U.S. access to Argentine lithium.
- Built on a November framework, the deal advances President Javier Milei's push to open Argentina's protectionist economy and reflects U.S. efforts to reduce reliance on China through reciprocal tariff adjustments.
- A planned $14 billion investment will fund El Pachón and MARA , while Argentina's mining exports reached $6 billion and lithium production hit 110,000 tonnes in 2025.
- Argentina will open its market to live cattle and give American producers preferential access to medicines and machinery, while the U.S. Trade Representative confirmed the deal though final details remain unreleased, and Democratic lawmakers voiced outrage over the $20 billion U.S. Treasury lifeline.
- The move follows U.S. steps like Project Vault and a glacier‑protection reform heading to Argentina's Senate on February 10, which could endanger Andean freshwater reserves.
