On November 13, 2025, the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, and the President of Argentina, Javier Milei, issued a joint statement announcing the launch of a framework for a bilateral agreement aimed at promoting long-term growth, expanding economic opportunity, and strengthening a transparent, rules-based environment for commerce and innovation.
In the field of Technology, the document highlights several commitments Argentina undertakes.
In particular, Argentina expressed its intention to facilitate cross-border personal data transfers by undertaking to recognize the United States as an adequate jurisdiction under local law, thereby avoiding any discrimination against US digital services or products. This step seeks to streamline digital operations, reduce administrative burdens, and provide greater legal certainty for technology companies and service providers.
The agreement also underscores Argentina’s commitment not to impose discriminatory requirements on US digital services, ensuring fair conditions for cloud service providers, digital platforms, software companies, and telecommunications systems. This approach is intended to promote an interoperable and predictable environment for the expansion of advanced technology services in Argentina.
Finally, Argentina also stated its willingness to recognize, for purposes of its domestic legislation, electronic signatures that are valid under US law, an approach that could facilitate digital transactions, international contracting, and bilateral commercial operations with greater efficiency and fewer additional formalities.
