US to Establish Anti-Drug Base in Argentina, Deepening Milei-Washington Ties

The US State Department has selected Argentina as the operational headquarters for its International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) office, with a $13 million package that increases cooperation funding tenfold. This marks a significant deepening of bilateral security cooperation under Milei, signaling a strategic alignment with Washington. The move could shift regional dynamics, potentially straining relations with other Latin American nations and altering counter-narcotics operations in the Southern Cone.
