On Thursday of last week the Government of Donald Trump officially announced that USA y Argentina They would be on the verge of signing what the White House calls Framework for an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade and Investment . The announcement was simultaneous with three others in which the Republican administration confirmed similar agreements with El Salvador, Ecuador and Guatemala.
The Daily Left has been publishing various economic and political analyzes about that announcement (you can see here, here y here), of which however still the most important details are unknown. As the days go by, the wait for more concrete explanations from the government of Javier Mileywhose officials decided to “rest” on what is said from Washington.
But some things are already being confirmed. On the one hand, it is known that the management of Freedom Advances Its objective is for the “agreement” to be implemented without the need for Congress to debate and vote on its bases, scope and consequences. Something that Trump Nor does he want it to happen in the US Parliament, where he is coming from a bitter dispute that led to a government “shutdown” for a time never seen before.
On the other hand, something logical: nothing that the United States signs with another country in the world can mean “equality” between partiesbut plainly submission to the imperialist power.
In that sense, it is worth mentioning what the journalist Claudio Mardones played this Sunday on Weather Argentineither. As confirmed by a diplomatic source based in the United States, “the biggest flaw is that It is not an agreementbut of what Trump proposed and wanted. Then they looked for the wording so that it would not be an imposition of the points and then mercy He focused on generating results for his electoral base, such as the entry of automobiles Tesla”.
The sources that give some precision about the “agreement” remain anonymous, which shows that the officials who participated in the conversations with the staff Republican “caution” prevails. Not to say directly that they don’t know what to answer when they are asked for details about the possible benefits that would accrue to Argentina.
According to the chronicler of TimeArgentine officials know that “there is no longer room to bypass Congress,” but they will only send for debate and possible approval “the parts that affect legal changes” and “the ratification of international treaties.” In the words of the cited source, the idea is that Parliament restricts itself to dealing with those regulations that help to “adopt global standards on the protection of intellectual property” or other particularities.
As the left has been proposing, to truly defend the national interests and the rights of the Argentine majorities, it is necessary reject Milei’s surrender agreement with Trump and the IMFcon the broadest organization and mobilization of working people in the streetsand start a path of true sovereignty expelling imperialism of our country.
