Argentina summons US diplomat over 'default' comment


BUENOS AIRES: Argentina summoned the acting American ambassador Tuesday over his comments on its failure to repay debt tied up in a US legal battle, protesting his use of the word "default" and accusing him of trampling on the country's sovereignty.

Kevin Sullivan, the charge d'affaires and top-ranking diplomat at the US embassy in Buenos Aires, told Argentine newspaper Clarin that it was "important for Argentina to exit default as soon as possible to return to the path of growth and attract the investment it needs."
