On the other hand, the Mexican, USA and Canadian presidents signed a new free trade agreement between the three countries.
The Russian President Vladimir Putin is arriving in Buenos Aires in the midst of a new war aggression from Russia to Ukraine. Moscow captured a Ukrainian military fleet in the Azov Sea, next to the Crimean Peninsula. This is another motive for political tension.
