Argentina and the United States carried out naval exercises off the southern country’s coast on May 30 in a new sign of the close ties that the ultra-liberal government of Javier Milei is seeking to establish with the United States.The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington participated in the exercise alongside Argentine ships, destroyers, and helicopters, 300 kilometres from the resort city of Mar del Plata.‘This is to show our friendship, our allyship, and our partnership, and the fact that we support our allies across the world,’ Commander Alexis Walker said during the training attended by two Argentine ministers and US Ambassador Marc Stanley.After taking office in December, Milei declared himself a global ally of the West, particularly the United States.
