Alec Oxenford A response to Axel Kiselov’s criticism of the trade agreement between Argentina and the United States. In a radio interview, the Argentine ambassador to the United States defended the treaty, predicting that the province of Buenos Aires would be one of the biggest beneficiaries and refuting Kicilloff’s arguments.
Oxenford criticized Kiselov’s statements, who expressed concern about the impact of the agreement on Buenos Aires’ industry. “Buenos Aires province is not in a particularly good position. I don’t know if there is much to be destroyed.”The ambassador said sarcastically.
Moreover, he stressed that the province will be one of the biggest beneficiaries once the treaty is signed between President Javier Miley and his counterpart Donald Trump. In particular, he highlighted the potential access to the American market for Argentine meat. “What has already become clear is the change that will occur in terms of access to the Argentine meat market in the United States. This benefits the province, which is ridiculous…”“He asked in an interview with the radio Miter He added that meat-producing provinces are the most preferred.
The representative of Argentina explained that the agreement means that both countries “They will mutually open their markets to key products.”. Although it has not yet been signed, it is expected that the details will be better understood once it is finalized. According to the ambassador, some of the key points of the economic agreement include the mutual adjustment of tariffs, the access of Argentine meat to the United States and the commitment to eliminate tariffs on unavailable products, in response to American demand.
“It’s good news for Argentina, there are more imports, which generates more exports and lower prices.”Oxford said.
In addition, he criticized those who suggest that Argentina should “surrender” to the United States by signing the treaty, and said that given the difference in size between the two economies, access to the American market is a major advantage. He stressed, “If we compare both economies, one economy is larger than the other. Entering this economy is different from entering our economy.”
He also wondered about the motives behind the criticism. “In Argentina, people sometimes confuse what they want to happen with reality. We understand that what What many would like to happen is that Argentina does poorly because they don’t like the management in the country.“But I don’t understand a lot of ways to see this as bad news,” he said.
Oxenford explained that the next step is to sign what he specified “Framework Agreement” also “arrangement geometry”. Each country’s obligations will then be determined, including market opening and regulatory issues. The ambassador predicted that if things go as planned, the way will be paved for a broad trade and investment agreement, which could lead to a free trade agreement. “At another time in the world, it will end up with a free trade agreement, changing its name and adapting to political measures.”He expressed that.
The government official stressed that this agreement is important for investors around the world: “Argentina sends a signal that it is more reliable and more stable. This signal stimulates more investors.”
He added: “History tells us that the path is good and that the incentives are there for us to be part of the process of generating sustainable, long-term prosperity. For the first time since the 1940s, we will be on the right side of history, in terms of geopolitical movements in history.”
In conclusion, he stressed that bridges are being built between Argentina and the United States, and between Argentina and the world. “Don’t worry, we have started the process and I think we are doing a good job.”I finish. “We spent 80 years building walls, and now we are building bridges between Argentina and the United States, between Argentina and the world,” he added.
