It's Argentinian (Argentine is NOT correct. There are about 280,000 Argentinians living in the U.S. Also, did you know that Argentina has the largest Jewish population in all of Latin America? Interesting question.

Both are right! I've lived in Argentina & known many, many people from Argentina. I've heard both Argentine and Argentinian (sometimes spelled Argentinean). Most people from Argentina that I know use "Argentine" in English, though. It just sounds closer to the Spanish "argentino".
There are large Argentine communities in LA and also in Miami.
This article from the Miami New Times uses both "Argentine" and "Argentinean":

Argentinian, I thought. I'm American.
I know tons of Latinos but nobody from Argentina - seems like most are chicano, Mexican, Honduran, Guatemalan... and a couple from Ecuador, up here in the San Bernadino Valley. Hope that helps!

"Argentinian" is the noun
"Argentine" is the adjective
