Argentina's Milei Calls UN 'Useless' Over Falkland Islands

Argentine President Javier Milei told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday that the organization is a "useless" body full of "arrogant parasites" and accused it of ignoring rising tensions over the Falkland Islands. He renewed Argentina's claim to the islands, which are known in Argentina as the Malvinas, and urged a peaceful solution. Milei said the UN's "sacred covenant has been broken" and criticized it for looking the other way on the dispute. The Falkland Islands have been a source of tension between Argentina and the United Kingdom since a 1982 war.
