In Eastern coast of (South) America you would be closer to the Prime Meridian, but do not forget that there exists the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of them...
You would be closer to the Prime Meridian on the eastern coast of South America. The Prime Meridian is located at 0 degrees longitude and runs through Greenwich, near London, England. Therefore, the further east you go from the Prime Meridian, the higher the longitude values will be.

Since the Earth is spherical (shaped like a ball), you can reach any country you're headed for by going either east or west from the Prime Meridian. The only thing is that one direction or the other is always the shorter trip. All of North America and South America are closer to the Prime Meridian going west from it, a big part of the reason why the part of the world they're in is called the "Western Hemisphere". To reach any country in North America or South America from the Prime Meridian, you'd want to head out towards the west. A few examples include the US, Belize, Suriname, French Guiana, and Martinique.
The closest locations to Argentina in North America (even excluding Central America) are much closer than the points in North America (eastern Canada) that are closest to Spain. Mexico and the southern US are closer to Argentina than to Spain. The northern US and Canada are closer to Spain.
The prime meridian is a line of longitude. Nothing can be closer to something than itself.
Yes, the Indian Ocean is closer to Sydney than Perth when considering the eastern coast of Australia. Sydney is located on the eastern seaboard, while Perth is on the western coast, further away from the Indian Ocean's eastern boundaries. However, both cities are adjacent to the Indian Ocean, but due to their geographical positions, Sydney is relatively closer.
