Nigeria: 'Useless Organisation' - Argentina President Milei Attacks UN
Milei accused the UN of failing on security and human rights while rejecting state control of artificial intelligence and urging investment in Argentina.
- On Wednesday, Argentine President Javier Milei addressed the United Nations General Assembly, calling the institution a "useless organization" filled with "arrogant parasites" that allowed "chaos, violence and international terrorism" to flourish.
- This address marked Milei's third consecutive annual broadside against the United Nations, which he has previously denounced as an "impotent organisation" promoting a "supranational government that is socialist."
- During the speech, Milei criticized the United Nations for "looking the other way" on Argentina's claim to the Falkland Islands, calling it "a national cause," while rejecting state regulation of artificial intelligence alongside President Donald Trump.
- Underscoring his close alliance with Trump, Argentina and the United States announced the Andes-Atlantic Corridor on Wednesday, a joint infrastructure initiative to connect "vital economic sectors to major Atlantic ports and Western markets."
- Argentina's economic stability relies on a $20bn extended fund facility from the IMF, a dependency that complicates Milei's career-long strategy of deriding the multilateral system he depends upon.
