The United Nations has chosen to “look ​the other ‌way” on Argentina’s dispute with Britain over ‌the ​Falkland ⁠Islands, President Javier ⁠Milei said on Wednesday before world leaders ​at the UN ⁠General Assembly.

Milei ⁠railed against ​the international ​organization for not doing ‌more on the issue. The islands, ⁠off the coast of Argentina, are ⁠a ‌largely ⁠self-governing British ​overseas ‌territory whose sovereignty ​Argentina ⁠has long disputed.
