US-China Dispute in Argentina Over Visa Threats Linked to Huawei Deal
Argentina faces diplomatic tensions between the US and China as claims emerge that US visa threats targeted executives of CALF, an Argentine electricity cooperative, over its deal with Chinese telecom firm Huawei.

Argentina is simultaneously strengthening economic ties with China, including renewing a currency swap agreement and planning official visits to enhance relations.
