The new right-wing government led by businessman Mauricio MAcri in Argentina has already indicated that it will seek to build close ties with the United States. Suggestions have already been made to adopt the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas, yet many fear that this would weaken Latin American regional integration. Less than a week after Macri took office, widespread protests indicate that subordination to the United States and a neoliberal agenda will not be easily accepted by the Argentine people, who believe that an independent foreign policy is a major legacy of the Kirchner era.
