Overview

• In a 15‑minute UN General Assembly address, Javier Milei said the organization has drifted into a supranational bureaucracy that dictates ways of life rather than mediating peace.
• He outlined four reforms for the UN that prioritize peace and security, limit intervention to cases beyond national capacity, audit and shutter ineffective programs, and prevent cooperation from constraining economic growth.
• Milei lauded President Donald Trump’s efforts on illegal immigration and trade and referenced a bilateral meeting the day before, with reports that Trump endorsed Milei’s re‑election bid.
• He demanded the immediate release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza and denounced what he called a global escalation of left‑wing political violence.
• Reasserting Argentina’s claim over the Falkland Islands, he criticized UN inaction and invited the United Kingdom to resume talks under Resolution 2065, while also defending his domestic austerity program ahead of the October 26 legislative elections.
