A land of divinity and destiny

[theplains]

I had a question about this Ensign article.

"Whatever its name and geographical configuration, however, it was from the beginning a 
land of divinity as well as a land of destiny."

source: https://www.lds.org/ensign/1976/06/a-promised-land?lang=eng

From the opening lines of the article, 'it' refers to the 'single, primeval continent of 
Genesis'.  Has 'it' now been equated with the United States only or does Argentina also
qualify as a land of divinity and destiny?
 
Thanks, 
Jim

In the Journal of Discourses, Brigham Young is quoted as saying that "The children of Zion have not yet much in their possession, but their territory is North and South America to begin with." JD 2:253 − p.254, Brigham Young, April 6, 1855
