Argentina purchases American-made F-16 fighter jets and partners with the US military on a naval base, shifting foreign policy and causing setbacks for China.
International affairs analysts see Argentina's purchase of American-made F-16 fighter jets and partnership with the US military on a naval base as a shift in foreign policy with significant implications for both China and the US. The decision to buy 24 F-16s from Denmark instead of accepting a bid from China, marks a setback for Beijing, who had been trying to sell Argentina JF-17 fighter jets for over a decade. This shift in foreign policy is partly due to the pro-democracy, anti-communist stance of Argentina's newly elected President, Javier Milei.
