Obama paid his respects to the victims of the junta the following day, as well as declassify US military and intelligence records from that era. According to Obama, this was meant to be a message not just to Argentina, but to the entire hemisphere, demonstrating that the US intended to rebuild trust that may have been lost in the past.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The United States and Argentina can be strong global partners, guided by universal values our peoples share.\u201d &#8211; U.S. President B.

Now he shares one of the strongest passion that Argentines have: <em>tomar mate.\u00a0<\/em>We hope that he continues to love mate and tango, because according to U.S. Ambassador, Mr. Mamet, the Obama family is going to visit Argentina again next year!
