U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met with Argentine Defense Minister Luis Petri at the Pentagon on Wednesday to deepen military cooperation and address rising regional threats.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the two leaders discussed efforts to “deepen and institutionalize the U.S.–Argentina defense relationship and deter malign influence in the Western Hemisphere.”

Hegseth commended Argentina’s ongoing defense modernization, citing the country’s recent acquisition of F-16 fighter jets and Stryker armored vehicles. He also noted significant progress in restoring bilateral ties under the current leadership.
