Argentina-US energy deal: $7B for Vaca Muerta-Lithium corridor, key credit unresolved

Argentina signed a framework agreement with the US during Milei's New York tour to develop energy, rail, and fiber-optic infrastructure linking Vaca Muerta and NOA lithium to Atlantic ports, with a projected $7 billion investment. However, a key credit component remains unresolved, casting uncertainty on financing. The deal signals deepening US-Argentina energy cooperation but lacks concrete funding commitments.
