Milei Advisers Tell Washington Congress Lacks Votes to Ratify US Trade Deal

President Milei's advisers told the Trump administration that Argentina's Congress does not have the votes to ratify the bilateral trade agreement the two countries signed in February 2026, Bloomberg reported. Milei's government wants to renegotiate terms in light of a US Supreme Court ruling affecting Trump's global tariff program, but US officials who traveled to Buenos Aires in recent weeks said renegotiation is off the table, warning it would invite other countries to seek changes to their own deals. A corruption scandal and sluggish growth have pushed Milei's approval to near the lowest levels of his presidency, complicating a ratification that US officials had originally treated as a formality.
