Javier Milei announces a “joint naval base” with the United States in Argentine Patagonia. Milei travels without prior notice to the extreme south of Argentina to meet with the head of the US Southern Command, General Laura Richardson.

Richardson arrived in Ushuaia to see the work of the naval authorities who control commercial maritime routes in the South Atlantic. The US ambassador to Argentina, Marc Stanley, stated that the Chinese Armed Forces were secretly operating in the area without providing evidence.
