The proposed agreement would allow the U.S. to deport immigrants from third countries to Argentina, supporting Trump's expanded deportation efforts amid Milei's push to strengthen U.S. ties.
- On January 30, 2026, The New York Times reported the U.S. and Argentina are in advanced talks after Juan Navarro sent a proposal involving Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, though no deal is finalized.

- Argentina agreed to take a few hundred deportees over two years, with deportees flown there and offered flights home, but officials warn of costs and limited infrastructure amid economic strain.
