BUENOS AIRES, April 23 (Reuters) - ​The United States is concerned about some ⁠Chinese infrastructure in Argentina, U.S. Undersecretary of State for Arms Control ​and International Security Thomas DiNanno said ‌at a press conference at the U.S. ambassador's residence in Buenos Aires.

Both countries ⁠are currently in talks ⁠for coordination on military equipment and law enforcement training, he said.

"We have to, like Argentina, balance ‌our commercial interests with our national ⁠security interests," he said. "It's ‌a real challenge ​to do."

China is a top trading partner for the U.S. and Argentina.

Before ‌Buenos Aires, DiNanno was ​in Chile, ⁠which this week announced it ‌would sign security ⁠and mining agreements with the U.S., with the security deal including $1 million ​in funds ‌from the U.S.
