Argentina will acquire eight Stryker armored fighting vehicles from the United States to be integrated into its army.
Argentine Minister of Defense Luis Petri and U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth signed a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) at the Pentagon.
This is in addition to Argentina's recent decision to purchase 24 F-16 fighter jets from the U.S. as part of plans to modernize its military.
After meeting Petri, Hegseth said China poses a threat to the U.S., Argentina and the region, adding that, "Regional peace demands the utmost will and tenacity, and I think we can face these shared security challenges together, and I know we will."
