“EXIM is moving boldly into the industries of the future. To do this, we must secure our supply chains, support American jobs, and ensure American workers, products, and expertise reach all parts of the Western Hemisphere,” said EXIM Chairman John Jovanovic. “We’re proud to enter into such an important partnership with Argentina and excited to see our two countries grow together.”
The framework will allow both parties to deepen economic ties, support US job growth, and contribute to Argentina’s infrastructure development.
Cooperation may include the support of critical minerals development and processing of Argentina’s strategic mineral resources through the deployment of US equipment, technologies, mining expertise, and related infrastructure.
The initiatives are consistent with the bank’s Supply Chain Resiliency Initiative (SCRI), designed to help secure supply chains of critical minerals and rare earth elements for US businesses.
