United StatesChina has criticized the United States for allegedly acting hypocritically in its dealings with Argentina, particularly regarding a dispute involving Huawei. This comes as Argentina's President Javier Milei navigates maintaining strong relations with the U.S., where he is a close ally of former President Donald Trump, while simultaneously strengthening economic ties with China. China's embassy in Buenos Aires accused the U.S. of undermining the sovereignty of other nations and violating free-market principles. The controversy arose after an Argentine electricity cooperative, CALF, claimed that U.S. Embassy officials warned them that executives involved in agreements with Huawei might face visa revocations. In response, Argentina extended its currency swap agreement with China for five more years, signaling continued economic collaboration. The U.S. Ambassador to Argentina stated that visa decisions are a matter of national sovereignty and security.
