The Argentine chancellor Pablo Quirno will travel next week to Washington to participate in an international summit called by the government of Donald Trump, focused on combatingthe resurgence of "transnational far-left terrorism.”
The meeting will take place on Thursday at the Department of State and will bring together high-level representatives from more than 60 countries.
The invitation was driven by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who extended the invitation to key ministers and officials from Europe, Latin America, and Asia, including nations like India, Indonesia, and Singapore.

The Argentine participation is framed within a context of increasing international coordination in the face of threats that require a joint and forceful response.
From the Department of State, spokesperson Tommy Pigott explained the rationale behind the meeting and emphasized the need to address this issue with greater firmness. He stated that far-left terrorism represents “an old threat that resurfaces with strong transnational ties and new convergences.”
In that vein, Pigott asserted that “since this threat has not been adequately addressed in the past, each confrontation, designation, or security assistance program creates an accumulated effect that supports countermeasures both domestically and abroad.”

The proposal reflects the Trump administration's approach, which seeks to strengthen global cooperation mechanisms to confront dangers to international security.
The initiative is part of a series of measures adopted by the U.S. president regarding security. Months ago, Trump signed an executive order classifying Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization,” in a decision that marked a turning point in U.S. domestic and foreign policy regarding such groups.
The measure came after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk by a leftist terrorist, an event that reinforced the White House's stance on the need to act with greater decisiveness.
The meeting in Washington aims to create a common front among allied countries to confront these types of threats, through information sharing, strengthening security strategies, and implementing coordinated programs.
