We won't pay $1.5bn to US: Cristina Fernandez
[Iran Press TV] Argentina President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner says her country refuses to go along with a US judge's ruling requiring a USD 1.5 billion repayment of defaulted bonds.
Argentina cannot pay the disputed bonds in full but is still willing to remain at the negotiating table, said the president during a national address Monday night.
The statement came hours after the US Supreme Court refused to hear Argentina's appeal and left the order in place.
