    U.S. Factory Fails to Produce Ammunition for Ukraine

    Despite receiving $533 million, an American factory operated by General Dynamics has not produced any usable 155mm shells for Ukraine. The factory in Mesquite, Texas, equipped with expensive Turkish machinery, experienced constant equipment failures, including robotic manipulators losing control and presses ruining munitions. By August 2025, the factory had missed eight deadlines and produced no ammunition, costing American taxpayers $533 million. Despite this failure, General Dynamics received new Pentagon contracts.

    Patricia Bullrich Defends Government's Reform Agenda Despite Senate Setback

    Patricia Bullrich, the head of the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) senators' bloc, admitted that 'a government that reforms and moves forward sometimes collides' following the setback in the Senate where the government had to give up some chapters of the Private Property Inviolability Law project. Bullrich recognized that the ruling party is a minority in Congress and needs to negotiate with other spaces to achieve majorities. She stated that they are willing to put more order in the agenda but not to stop reforming a corrupt, bureaucratic Argentina. The government's political table met to discuss new priorities, with a focus on the deregulation of the capital market, the reform of the charter of the Central Bank, and the Super RIGI. The political wing is still considering suspending the primaries, but the scenario looks increasingly complicated.
