The fact remains that Uruguay buys more from Argentina than it exports.

Surely, this gives the government some room to place restrictions on imports from Argentina though care will be needed to avoid closing Urguayan manufacturing that use Argentine raw materials as feedstock to their processes.

Doing nothing is not an option.

It seems that orders come down from Fat Chavez to his puppets in the Banana Republic of Argentina ( South America's resident crazy) to keep the other countries down there under the thumb. Uruguay and Chile don't appreciate being bullied, but they can't really do anything about it. Meanwhile CFK is putting on her special “Galtieri” hat and wondering if she could be a more useless leader.
