La Plata: Government Axel Kiselov He denounced Argentina’s trade agreement with the United States as “the worst free trade agreement a country could sign” and called on all national opposition to prevent it from coming to fruition.
Minister of the Government of Buenos Aires, Carlos BiancoHe carried out this crusade against the foreign policy of President Javier Miley, but at the same time he demanded that the Minister of the Interior of the Nation, Diego Santilli, receive the province of Buenos Aires in the round of federal negotiations.
“The agreement with the United States is the worst thing that could be signed in all of history,” the Kisilov official insisted. “We call on the opposition to organize itself in Congress so that it is not signed. It is worse than the US free trade agreement: the United States has access to our markets, not reciprocity.”
He continued: “The only commitment (of Donald Trump, President of the United States) is to cancel reciprocal tariffs on some unavailable natural resources and non-patented pharmaceutical products. This does not mean that he will open the market for 70 percent of the products. Only for certain products.”
“There is no reciprocity when it comes to vehicles,” Bianco said. “Neither livestock nor dairy products. We open the market to the United States and they are not committed to anything. There is too much asymmetry. It is not reciprocal. We are committed to eliminating non-tariff barriers and they are limited to some products only.”
The official insisted, “The only thing that exists are commitments from Argentina and nothing from the United States. They give us nothing and we hand over our market.”
“One tends to think whether this would not conflict with the interest of the United States Treasury or the swap,” he added, referring to a promise to send money. 20 billion dollars Before the October 26 elections.
The government minister said: “We demand the precise details of this agreement and call on Congress to oppose this strict agreement that was drafted in secret and without consulting the relevant actors.”
“In addition, this should be discussed within the framework of Mercosur. If it is signed, it may generate a wave of trade reprisals. In order to be on good terms with the United States, we will fight with other countries in the world,” he said at a press conference this morning from government headquarters.
“We have already become another star on the flag of the United States – ironically Bianco – we must work with the whole of Peronism to create an alternative in unity to return the future to Argentina in 2027.”
While he called for organizing the opposition, the provincial government minister once again asked the Interior Minister to receive him Axel Kiselov.
The nation’s debt to the province amounts to 12.9 billion pesos, according to the province’s calculations. More than half of these debts, linked to various programmes, are being prosecuted before the country’s Supreme Court of Justice. There are seven complaints related to transfers from ANSES, the National Teacher Incentive Fund, the Financial Enhancement Fund, the Public Transport Compensation Fund, and the Environment Funds among others.
Bianco criticized Santelli directly: “The only thing he kindly did was tell me that he took note of the request. It is pathetic because he has already met with a fair number of conservatives.”
He added: “The province of Buenos Aires is not only subject to discrimination financially, but also politically, because the primary task of the Minister of the Interior is to create a channel for dialogue with the provinces.”
