Sumario:Only six US presidents visited Argentina: Roosevelt (1936), Eisenhower (1960), Bush (1990), Clinton (1997), Bush Jr. (2005) and Obama (2016). Each of these visits responded to strategic objectives and generated a singular reaction in Argentina, which we study in function of determining the extent to which conditioned the foreign policy and in particular the link with the United States. While there are several researchers who have paid attention to the importance of internal factors in the adoption of certain foreign policy, there are few specific studies focused on developing such constraints. In general, when the internal variables are addressed, they are reduced to the actions of the authorities, without giving attention to other social and political forces. In this article, we explain the context of the US-Argentine relationship at the time of each visit, the objectives of each government and the reactions that arose in Argentina, both for and against the deepening of bilateral ties.
