Argentina: Biden Holds Bilateral Meeting With President Fernández

US

President Joe Biden is shortly due to hold a bilateral meeting with Argentine President Alberto Fernández at the White House.

  • The bilat, the first in-person meeting between the two leaders, is expected to last approximately 90 mins and revolve around an "open agenda," according to a Fernández spokesperson.
  • The Buenos Aires Times reports that Fernández will be accompanied by Economy Minister Sergio Massa and the Argentine President, "will speak to the US president knowing the 'influential' position that Washington has at the International Monetary Fund."
  • Fernández said ahead of the trip: "Our America, in the years in which Donald Trump ruled the United States, suffered a tremendous process of regional disintegration. UNASUR faded away as its members disassociated themselves from the mandates imposed by that Republican government. Even the OAS was at the service of that disintegrating objective by validating a coup d'état in Bolivia.”
  • BAT continues: "This latest stage of bilateral relationship will have a second chapter in Argentina. United States Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman arrives this week and will meet Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiero to advance the agenda outlined on Wednesday."
