U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) Chief Admiral Alvin Holsey arrived in Argentina for a three-day visit to strengthen bilateral defense and security cooperation. He will meet President Javier Milei at Casa Rosada, Defense Minister Luis Petri, and other high-ranking officers. Holsey also plans to visit the Integrated Naval Base in Ushuaia to review its role in protecting strategic maritime routes. The admiral’s visit is viewed as a sign of growing ties between the Milei and Trump administrations, following recent U.S. gestures like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s presence in Buenos Aires.
