General Laura Richardson, chief of the US Southern Command (Southcom) arrived in Buenos Aires for a 3-day visit to Argentina during which she intends to engage in talks with local military and defense authorities to discuss geopolitical issues of mutual interest. The four-star general is particularly interested in China’s strategic deployment in the region, including a base in the province of Neuquén. The general’s mission will also be focused on Tierra del Fuego Governor Gustavo Melella possibly allowing a Chinese investment for the development of a deep-water port, which would become the southernmost in the world.
