President Javier Milei, during his third address to the United Nations General Assembly, harshly criticized the United Nations, describing it as a "useless organization" due to its inability to resolve the sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas Islands between Argentina and the United Kingdom. He stated that Argentina had decided to take measures against companies and individuals involved in an offshore drilling project around the islands.
