The visit, the highest-level U.S. official visit since Milei's inauguration, aimed to reinforce the partnership between the two nations, focusing on democracy, human rights, security, energy, and critical minerals. Following his attendance at the G20 gathering of foreign ministers in Brazil, Blinken's trip signals the United States' commitment to supporting Argentina amidst its economic challenges. The discussions revolved around economic and strategic support, counterterrorism, the rule of law, and the importance of strengthening global food and energy security and battery supply chains. Additionally, Blinken's visit comes at a time when Milei is set to speak at a conservative conference in the U.S., highlighting the dynamic and multifaceted nature of U.S.-Argentina relations.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken says that "dollarization is up to Argentina" and that "we of course look forward to hearing any plans." He says that the economic stabilization happening is vital and opening new opportunities. 🇺🇲🇦🇷 https://t.co/VyUH1iYtOn
“It is important to build relationships” with both Republicans and Democrats, I told the @BAHeraldcom. But the “US-Argentina relationship has enormous potential at this moment,” so “this is no time to wade into partisan combat in the US.” https://t.co/0cRNslkTOW
Javier Milei’s acceptance of an invitation to speak at CPAC was “surprising,” I told the @BAHeraldcom. Outreach to both parties is important, but “it is not in Argentina’s interest to alienate the US leadership.” https://t.co/CMRW5qmgnc
America’s authoritarian adversaries are attempting to chip away at U.S. global influence. Milei’s stewardship of Argentina is a bright spot — and an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed. | @james_t_quinn https://t.co/Q9IOuHUrOn
AFUERA! Charlie Kirk and I talk President Milei. Clip in comments:
Good to see. U.S. Secretary of State @SecBlinken travels to Argentina, meets with new president @JMilei https://t.co/E9ZwftI7ci
I had a very productive first meeting in Argentina with President @JMilei and Ministers @DianaMondino, @LuisCaputoAR, and @GAFrancosOk. The depth of our conversation reflects the strong desire of our nations to deepen our partnership and strengthen our ties even more. https://t.co/R5UQCLYmM2
Good list, but this is a time for truly transformational infrastructure investments, by the US, Europe, and other democratic partners, and by the @the_IDB and @WorldBank, to dramatically expand Argentina’s lithium output, farm exports, and renewable energy production. https://t.co/sthoRARemq
Glad to see @StateDept highlight the importance of exchange programs for deepening ties between the US and Argentina. @FulbrightPrgrm, @StateIVLP, science and arts envoys, and similar initiatives are a powerful, cheap, and chronically underused tool in great power competition. https://t.co/sthoRARemq
Glad to see counterterrorism as a pillar of the US-Argentina relationship. Argentina suffered two devastating terrorist bombings in the 1990s and the latest conflict in the Middle East has created new risks to the country’s large Jewish community. https://t.co/sthoRARemq
AFUERA! Charlie Kirk and I talk President Milei. https://t.co/kpLuBHYAmi
US excitement for Javier Milei should not be misread as anti-Peronist. The US, by and large, is always eager to engage with Argentina whenever it finds a partner in the Casa Rosada. https://t.co/dGHaALJdKa

“If the US better understood the gains it could make by integrating Latin America more thoroughly into US supply chains, it might also find it easier to address the hopelessly gridlocked, ideologically charged issue of immigration,” writes @shannonkoneil. https://t.co/aMWTBYrxy2
Glad to see Argentina doing what’s right and standing up for democracy. Biden’s weak appeasement policies are empowering dictators like Maduro. He needs to reinstitute sanctions IMMEDIATELY to stand with the people of Venezuela and hold Maduro accountable. https://t.co/gXGy7Wrfxn
As Sergei Lavrov receives a warm welcome in parts of the region, not only in Havana and Caracas, but also in Rio de Janeiro, it is good to see @SecBlinken recognize Argentina’s strong defense of Ukrainian sovereignty. https://t.co/4AOc9maZfm

Good to see the US is not waiting on the sidelines to see how things shake out in Buenos Aires. The challenges are daunting, but a prosperous Argentina, led by a pro-market president who favors democratic partners, is hugely in the US interest. https://t.co/N4MeOCiVvK
