Argentina after a more balanced trade with the US, says Ambassador Argüello
Argentine Ambassador to US Jorge Argüello stated on Wednesday that the best way to reach a more balanced trade with the US is increasing Argentine exports to that country and clarified that Argentina has no plans to buy less, but rather selling more goods. Read full article

May 31st, 2012 - 09:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0Fair enough you say that, Idlehands, but don't start shouting “protectionism” if USA rejects Argentinian wares and Argentina then decides to do the same with US wares...
May 31st, 2012 - 09:57 am - Link - Report abuse 03. We don't reject Arg wares, except for wine I have never seen any here in the USA. They're too expensive and the quality is not good we just don't buy them. You don't make or have anything we can't get from somewhere else better and cheaper.
May 31st, 2012 - 11:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0On the other hand CFK prohibits USA goods ALREADY purchased from entering the country. It is totally different and you know it.
I'm still not Argentinian, yanqui :)
May 31st, 2012 - 11:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0Is this man seriously deranged? Argieland's trade policies are restrictive, protectionist and, now that they've forced Mercosur to increase tariff rates, likely to be uneconomic. Who would export goods to argieland with the expectation that they will spend weeks or months in customs? Who would import stuff from argieland simply so that argieland can balance its imports and exports? Who, in their right mind, would send goods to argieland knowing that they have to balance a 35% customs tariff? In order to stay “competitive”, the exporting country's prices would probably have to be reduced by 20% or more. Put simply, argieland cannot even see as far as the end of its nose. Argies really need to pray that their country really can produce everything they need and they can use it all. Because the time is coming when no-one will want to buy from them or sell to them.

Why is it you folks have this compulsive behaviours? Shooting children in schools, stealing resources, cheating on elections, and now, EATING FACES!!!
You guys are a sick, sick breed...
We have 350Million people living in the USA, a 24 news cycle, great police work and fair courts. You bring these things up like they don't exist in SA, your police are horrible if they ever show up they can't solve most of their cases. It is not like you don't have serial killers, child prostitution, pedophiles your police don't know how to catch them, what to look for or care. I don't think Arg does even their own DNA the FBI does it for them. With the short cash flow they will probably stop it all together.
May 31st, 2012 - 12:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Overall it is much much safer to live anywhere in the USA as compared to the same type of place in SA such as NYC is MUCH safer than San Paulo or BA. We don't live with guards in every shop, behind large gates, we don't fear walking alone in our neighborhoods, parks etc. If you have never been here you wouldn't understand.
No, you eat eachothers faces instead... :)
May 31st, 2012 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 01 case of crazy..even from this board I can see the % of crazy is much higher where you are.
May 31st, 2012 - 12:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Guzz you are suming up an entire nation due to a few individual events. Does that mean I can sum the average Argentinian to be exactly the same as the military leaders of the junta? No I cannot. And where did yankeeboy call you an arg.
May 31st, 2012 - 12:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Im sick of stereotying in this forum. Im guilty of it in the past but I learnt my lesson. I used to think that all americans were dumb, arrogant and fat. That was until I served hand in hand with them in Iraq and Afghanistan. I learned very quickly they were none of the above and very similar to me. I realised that I had judged an entore nation when I have been in contact with it. I now have some close friends in the US military. The same as I do with the Arg army and meeting alot of them on a UN tour in Cyprus.
You may have not liked what yankeeboy said but that gives you no right to slate the United States.
That's what you do, yanqui
May 31st, 2012 - 12:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You take 1 persons actions in Argentina, and project it on the whole population.
As I told you, you set the standards, and from now on, you are responsible for everything that happens in USA...
Want a hand? A cheek maybe?
Guzz, sometimes you make intelligent remarks that I have seen on other articles . Other times you spout poo. How about you calm down, stop the crap and discuss. Thats all yankeeboy did.
May 31st, 2012 - 01:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No, Bombardier
May 31st, 2012 - 01:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0yanqui is constantly telling me were I come from, as he is spreading lies about every nation in SA, he doesn't present a single source to back his arguments, plus he judges whole countries based on actions of single men.
Furthermore he laughes at the dead civilians in every war USA has commited atrocities, stating, and I quote, “Might is Right”.
I have no sympathy for that man, him, together with conqueror, will never get any serious response from me, for the simple reason that they have no sympathy for human life.
Um 1 person or a whole gov't? Gov't I think.
May 31st, 2012 - 01:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't call out the 1 off killings of teens coming out of discos by police or the club security, or the 1 off secuestro express, or the beating and raping of elderly people for $200 pesos, or the single begging children in the streets or restaurants, or neighbors/vigilantes burning a suspected rapist (pedophile) in his house, or or or or ...do I?
No I mostly talk about the hysterical mentally unstable Dictator and her minions further destroying a whole country and the wealth of 30MM people.
You talk of 1 offs like they're common. They're not. We just catch the criminals or the deranged and in SA they don't.
Guzz, I must of missed something in a previous thread. Though what he put in his thread at 4 is fair. If Argentina does not have something US wants but the US has things Argentina do. Than why should they have more balanced trade? Apart from that would be a fair and friendly thing to do. I will mention but won't bang on about (as i don't know a lot on the subject) the loans Argentina has defaulted on with the United States? Could that have anything to do with United States behaving less friendly with regards to trade? I don't know.
May 31st, 2012 - 01:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I also don't think America has commmtied atrocities either. Now Guzz I ask you be sensitive if you comment on this. I served in the British army on two tours of Iraq and one of Afghanistan. I did not witness any atrocities. No innocent civilians were ever targeted. Mistakes may have been made and civilians accidently occured (I dont condone but it happens, I have personal experince of this, i know

In war people get hurt. Even the ones that don't deserve to be. Sad fact of life.

May 31st, 2012 - 01:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I saw the video of an US helicopter shooting at civilians, you know, the one that wikileaks released. I saw the pictures of Abu Ghraib.
In war people get hurt, sometimes by accident, other times... It's harder to explain it as an “accident”...
Back on something worthwhile to chat about: U$ exchange is 6.5/1 leak rate.

Bye bye savings
I hope toby doesn't have his massive savings in Pesos. He is better off buying a new car and not driving it.
hahaha
Oh please, yankeeboy called me an intellectually stupid person that only believes to be “smart” because he is sorrounded by 4o million people who are even dimmer.
May 31st, 2012 - 02:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yankeeboy lies through his teeth when he claims he does not use one person's actions to perform syllogism on 40 million others.
22. I stick by that statement but I said dumber not dimmer didn't I?
May 31st, 2012 - 02:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Lots of SAs think they are smart or rich or privileged in their own country but here they're just maids or gardeners.
@17 Serious response? From you? I'd like to call it an oxymoron. Or, in your case, moron. Would you like the evidence of the compliance of the argie population? How many “urus” are in there? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xqwNsmzCbM Just look at all those mindless animals!
May 31st, 2012 - 02:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@20 Go on then. Explain the 30,000+ “disappeared”. An “accident”, was it?
@22 Argies are genocides. There can be no doubt about this. Argies have exterminated approximately 60 million Amerindians. Argies are complicit in exterminations in other “countries”. Argies even kill their own. Not that this should be held against them. It's natural for them.
@23 They get as high as maids or gardeners?
Dude, my left eyebrow is smarter than you. In every conceivable parameter, I am smarter than about 305 million Americans too. They cower in a discussion with me, usually by falling back to the safe haven of “USA, USA, USA”.
May 31st, 2012 - 02:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 025. Sure you are keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. BTW my dad can beat up your dad. Try that one next time just as good of a retort on the playground.
May 31st, 2012 - 03:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0hahahaha
So are your MASSIVE savings in Pesos?
How can a fact make me feel better? It's just a fact. Its like asking how tasting salt makes me feel better, how could I know when I've never known otherwise.
May 31st, 2012 - 03:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I know I'm smarter, you know I'm smarter (reason why you whinge like a little gamine who is being ignored when I begin usufruct of your language's panoply of vocabulary), everyone knows I'm smarter.
If you refuse to believe me, the fact no one here ever suggest your posts are insightful, yet many have been honest enough to aver some of my posts are extremely insightful, well-thought out, informative, and penetrating (and I will be happy to provide you with a dozen quotes if you wish), even as I double up as a TTT (a hand forced upon me by the barrage of insults pelted at us), should be enough and decisive evidence for you to ascertain the truth.
Bahahahaha you are a teenage girl right? Thanks for the laugh I have to go to work now.
May 31st, 2012 - 03:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has come under a barrage of criticism at the WTO where the US, EU, Japan and TEN other countries accused it of tying imports up in red tape when CFK and Co imposed a system to pre-approve or reject every purchase from abroad.
May 31st, 2012 - 07:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So Arguello's statement that Argentina plans to buy less goods from abroad sounds a bit 'rich.' I suspect the American's already suspect this.

More like going down the open sewers in BsAs.
RG trade ministers were in DC not long ago trying to hawk their wares and nobody showed up for their meeting so they waited around for an hour then all went shopping and went back home.
May 31st, 2012 - 08:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They have nothing we want or need or can't get better for cheaper somewhere else.
They just lost the trade preferences in the EU today. So they are in effect shut out of the 2 largest markets in the world. I hope they can figure out how to use soy to run their cars and heat their house. haha
