On August 15th, Argentine President Mauricio Macro and US Vice President Mike Pence emphasized their joint commitment to increase bilateral trade relations after meeting in Buenos Aires.
"When Latin America embraces economic reforms, Latin America succeeds and so does the US," Mr. Pence said.
He also met with local officials and delivered a speech at the Buenos Aires stock exchange focused on economic ties between the two countries, as part of a week long visit to Latin America.
"Argentina in many ways is an inspiration, across this hemisphere and across the wider world," Vice President Pence said during a joint news conference with Mr. Macri.
After Argentina, he will travel to Chile to meet President Michelle Bachelet and then to Panama to meet President Juan Carlos Varela. He began his tour in Colombia, where he met with President Juan Manuel Santos./.
