Reuters is reporting that the Lago Agrio plaintiffs plan to seek recognition and enforcement of their Ecuadoran judgment in an Argentine court. No details as yet—stay tuned!

Is there some other pressure Chevron can bring to bear on Argentina, as it has with Ecuador before the US Trade Representative?
