Ramos Nápoli emphasized that Argentina has internationally recognized experience in the nuclear fuel cycle, the operation and construction of reactors, the sale of radioisotopes, nuclear medicine, and the training of specialists. “We discussed cooperation between Argentina and the United States, private investment, and the international projection of the Argentine nuclear sector,” the official noted after the meeting.
Agen plays a central role within the energy structure of the Trump administration as director of the National Energy Dominance Council, where he participates in coordinating the U.S. strategy to expand energy production and strengthen the country's position in a sector considered key to its economic and geopolitical development.
The meeting took place at a time when the Milei government seeks to give a new boost to the Argentine nuclear sector, with an agenda aimed at integrating the capabilities accumulated over decades with greater participation of private capital, the development of new projects, and an expansion of high-value-added technology and service exports.
Federico Ramos Napoli expressed himself about the meeting on his X account.
In this regard, Ramos Nápoli highlighted that Argentina possesses “world-recognized” scientific, technological, and industrial capabilities, listing among them expertise in the nuclear fuel cycle, the construction and operation of reactors, the production of radioisotopes, and nuclear medicine. “From the Secretariat of Nuclear Affairs, we work to integrate these capabilities and transform them into reliable energy, health, industry, skilled employment, and high-value exports,” he stated.
With an extensive track record in nuclear research and development, Argentina seeks to leverage its experience to establish itself as a reference technological partner and transform that accumulated knowledge into new investments, skilled employment, and greater international integration.
