"On March 11, 2019, a brief and vague message was tweeted to the Twitter account of the US Embbady in Argentina, and the message seemed to refer to a personality and to Argentina's domestic politics.", the Embbady reported in a statement.

"We immediately erased the tweet and categorically rejected its content.We will thoroughly investigate this incident and strengthen our security measures on our social media accounts", they said.
