Wait, WHO Wants to Join NATO?
|
BLUF:
[PJ] Now Javier Milei
…economist who is the brand new president of Argentina. In his first month in office he brought down inflation, fired 70,000 government workers, and balanced the nation’s budget. He openly models himself on Donald Trump… | says he wants a partnership with NATO. You know, the organization for Europe and North America, both places where Argentina isn't.
I don't think Milei means to commit Argentine troops to Europe's defense. If memory serves, Argentina once had some trouble committing troops just to the nearby Falkland Islands. But what he does desire is a partnership with NATO. Defense Minister Luis Alfonso Petri submitted a formal request on Thursday and announced, "I met with Deputy Secretary General of NATO Geoana. I transmitted a letter of intent to him, which contains a request from Argentina to become a global partner of this organization."
Believe it or not, there's precedent for Argentina's request. During President Donald Trump's first term, Colombia asked for and received NATO partnership status. As partners (but not official allies), NATO and Colombia work together on "cyber security, terrorism, the fight against corruption and maritime security. Colombia provides demining training to NATO Allies and partner countries, while NATO is also supporting Colombia in its continuing efforts to develop its armed forces."
