In November 2015, centre-right Mauricio Macri won the presidential election in Argentina. Macri’s success put an end to a 12-year period of governance by left-wing Nestor Kirchner from 2003-2007 and by his wife Cristina Kirchner from 2007-2015.
Macri has frequently stated that the policy of his forerunners had resulted in Argentina’s isolation from the West and pledged to develop Buenos Aires’ relations with the US and EU.
Last year, the US Senate proposed a judgment sustaining Washington’s pledge to continue military and economic cooperation with Argentina. The resolution urges the US State Department to build a powerful strategy to expand cooperation with the government of Argentina on issues of bilateral, regional as well as international concern.
