Story summary

On September 23, 2026, Argentina's President Javier Milei addressed the UN General Assembly in New York, criticizing the organization as "useless" and filled with "arrogant parasites." He renewed Argentina’s claim to sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, which Argentines call Las Malvinas. Milei accused Britain of flouting a UN resolution by proceeding with oil exploration around the islands, an action that Argentina has sanctioned 60 companies and individuals for. Tensions between Argentina and Britain have escalated since Argentina began sanctions proceedings in early September, leading British officials to describe Argentina's actions as "unacceptable." Milei also urged both sides to find a peaceful solution to the dispute, emphasizing that the principle of self-determination does not apply to the Falkland Islands.
