The United States recently stroke a deal with Argentina which will allow American pork meat to enter the Argentinian market for the first time since 1992. The agreement between the two countries comes after the mitting between Vice President Mike Pence and President Mauricio Macri of Argentina during the Vice President’s visit to Buenos Aires from August 15, according to a press statement released by the White House on Thursday.

"After 25 years of discussions, America's pork producers will soon be able to export their fine product to Argentina," Pence said in the statement. "This is one more example of the commitment of President Trump and his entire administration to breaking down international trade barriers and making free and fair trade a win-win for American workers, farmers, and our trading partners."

US pork producers will now be able to export all fresh, chilled, and frozen pork and pork products to a market valued at 10 million dollars per year.

Argentina blocked the imports of pork meat and pork products imports from the US in 1992, because of concerns dealing with animal health.

Pork exports from the US to Argetina will oficially resume after a team of Argentine food safety officials will conduct on-site verification of the United States meat inspecton system.

The U.S. is the world's top pork exporter.
