Speaking at the General Assembly in New York, Milei criticised the organisation as ineffective in addressing the long-running tensions surrounding the British overseas territory in the South Atlantic. He said Argentina would take “matters into our own hands” and described the UN as being made up of “arrogant parasites”, according to the supplied material.
