Someone asked why the Worm went to Argentina ...
President Barack Obama, who is on a visit to Argentina, has promised to release secret files concerning the US role in the military coup there 40 years ago that installed one of the region's most brutal regimes.
He was speaking after talks with Argentine President Mauricio Macri.
Mr Obama said US military and intelligence files from the era would be declassified for the first time.
He arrived in Argentina after a historic three-day visit to Cuba.
President Macri said the visit marked the beginning of "new mature and intelligent relations" between the two countries.
US-Argentina relations were less close during the previous left-wing governments of Mr Macri's predecessors, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and Nestor Kirchner.
Mr Obama praised the reforms implemented by Mr Macri's centre-right government since he came to power in December.
"President Macri is a man in a hurry. I'm impressed because he has moved rapidly on so many reforms to reconnect Argentina with the world community," he said.
Mr Obama said that by offering a more stable financial scenario to foreign investors, Mr Macri would attract billions of dollars of investment from US businesses.
"Argentina needs to be a critical partner with us. It is one of the biggest, most important countries in the region."
Earlier this month, Argentina signed an agreement with US hedge funds to settle a 15-year dispute over its failure to repay billions of dollars worth of bonds.
Ms Fernandez had refused to negotiate with the investors, labelling them "vulture funds".
