Washington and Buenos Aires signed the Reciprocal Trade and Investment Agreement, a pact that was announced in November and that, among other things, seeks to establish a transparent framework and clear rules for trade and investments between both countries.
Although the scope of the pact is still unknown, which was created with a document of more than 16 pages, the Argentine Foreign Ministry announced that the United States would eliminate reciprocal tariffs for 1,675 Argentine products while Argentina will eliminate the rate for 221 American products, including machines, transportation materials, medical supplies and chemicals.
“The initiative positions Argentina, the first country in South America to sign an agreement of this magnitude, among a select group of countries with preferential access to the US market, strengthens its international insertion and promotes a more balanced association with the main economy and the largest importer in the world,” reads part of the statement issued by the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The signing closes a period of talks that arose after the United States' announcement of the establishment of a "Framework for an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade and Investment," which the White House noted is based on “democratic values and a common vision of free enterprise, private initiative and open markets.”
Another aspect to highlight of the pact is that both countries committed to improving the conditions for reciprocal access to beef markets, although from Argentina they see a better benefit due to the increase in product volumes to the American Union and because Brazil, its main competitor, is subject to tariffs of 50%.
