U.S. President Barack Obama arrived in Argentina on Wednesday to reset diplomatic relations and strengthen trade ties with a country that was part of South America's left-wing bloc until pro-business President Mauricio Macri took power in December.

Obama's two-day visit marks a rapprochement after years of sour relations and is a sign of support for Macri's investor-friendly reforms aimed at opening up Latin America's third biggest economy.

Obama and his family landed in Buenos Aires shortly after 1 a.m. and were met by Argentina's foreign minister, Susana Malcorra, before being whisked away to the U.S. ambassador's residence.

The U.S. leader will hold talks with Macri on Wednesday morning ahead of a joint press conference. He will also lay a wreath at the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral, where Pope Francis has celebrated Mass, and meet young entrepreneurs before attending a state dinner.

Some people call Macri Argentina’s Trump.

Argentina has been wrecked by decades of rule by Argentina’s Obama.

Not only that, watch for Obama to stir up UK/Argentina trouble by referencing how the Malvinas (Falklands) rightfully belongs to Argentina. He might even lay a wreath at the Malvinas War Memorial.

You got to be kidding. This jerk is going to apologize for what? Is he going to give them the Falklands back?

Tell them they need to quit raising great beef cattle and go vegan?

Any chance we can get the Obamination to defect to Argentina? Our loss is their gain.
