Joe Biden’s top national security adviser is already in the country to meet with Alberto Fernández

The Chief National Security Advisor to the President of the United States, Joe Biden, will visit Olivos with Juan Gonzalez, director for the Western Hemisphere of the White House, who already visited Argentina last April, when he met Fernández.

In addition, they constitute the entourage Ricardo Zuniga, Special Envoy for the Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras) and MaryKay Carlson, Affairs Officer at the United States Embassy in Buenos Aires. With Alberto Fernández will be Felipe Solá, Gustavo Béliz Yes Jorge Argüello.

During the meeting, it is expected that the global immunization campaign will be discussed as an accessory for the recovery of economies. It should be remembered that the United States has already donated to the world about 100 million doses of different vaccines against the coronavirus and it is possible that shortly, in addition, there will be a new announcement of the shipment of new doses from Washington to Argentina. It may be earlier than expected so far.

In addition, the situation of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela will be discussed, also bearing in mind that Zuniga was a special collaborator of Barack Obama in the process of “unfreeze” with the Cuban government. On the other hand, it is also expected that the role of China at the global level will be discussed, a point which also took center stage during Sullivan’s meeting with Bolsonaro.

In Buenos Aires, the security adviser also plans to organize meetings with other national officials.
