The United States has imposed sanctions on former Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and a former minister, citing significant corruption and involvement in graft cases. U.S. officials have barred Kirchner from entering the country due to her alleged complicity in corruption and suspected cover-up related to a bombing incident involving Iran. This travel ban and sanctions were announced amidst growing concerns over corruption in Argentina, as noted by various U.S. lawmakers and government representatives.
