Argentina Senate to Vote on Glacier Law Changes Tied to U.S. Critical Minerals Alliance
STRATEGIC MINERALS
The Argentine Senate is set to vote on significant modifications to the glacier protection law, aligning with agreements made under Javier Milei's administration with the United States' Critical Minerals Security Alliance. The proposed changes allow provinces to determine which glaciers receive protection, potentially undermining environmental standards established in 2010. This initiative has raised concerns regarding resource management and the influence of mining companies, particularly in relation to U.S. corporate interests.
