President Barack Obama is on a two-day visit to Argentina and security measures have been heightened after the terrorist attack in Belgium. The building is located about a mile from the presidential palace where Obama met Argentine President Mauricio Macri.
Security Minister Patricia Bullrich tells the government’s Telam news agency that authorities are still investigating and that she hopes the incident is unrelated to Obama’s visit.
