Javier Milei criticizes the UN and seeks Trump's support on the Falklands dispute

Argentine President Javier Milei blasted the United Nations as a "useless organization" that feeds a "caste of parasites," Diario de Mallorca reported. Milei is betting on US President Trump to help Argentina resolve its long-standing dispute with Britain over the Falkland Islands.
Milei has consistently criticized international organizations he views as ineffective. The Argentine leader called the UN a "useless organization" that wastes resources on bureaucrats rather than solving real problems. His rhetoric aligns with his broader anti-establishment political style.
Instead of pursuing his Falkland Islands claim through the UN, Milei is placing his hopes on personal diplomacy with President Trump. Argentina has claimed the islands, known locally as Malvinas, for decades. Milei believes Trump's dealmaking approach offers a better path to resolution than traditional international channels.
Britain has controlled the Falkland Islands since 1833. Argentina fought a war over the territory in 1982 and lost. The dispute remains a point of national pride for Argentina, with successive governments seeking to reclaim the South Atlantic archipelago.
