Argentina's abrupt snub of COP29 climate talks in Azerbaijan has raised alarm that President Javier Milei -- an ally to US President-elect Donald Trump -- could be looking at pulling out of the Paris accord.

Argentina’s right-wing president, Javier Milei, is considering withdrawing his country from the Paris climate agreement. Donald Trump has pledged to also remove the United States.

The usual suspects abstained from voting on a seemingly uncontroversial United Nations resolution that denounced violence against women and girls on Thursday — Iran, Russia, North Korea.

Argentina was the only country to vote against the resolution, and argued that it contained ambiguous terms such as “hate speech,” “misinformation,” and “disinformation” that could be used “abusively” to restrict freedom of expression.

Argentina was the only country in the United Nations to vote against a resolution that would protect women and girls, especially in "the digital environment."

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump met Thursday at his Mar-a-Lago club with Argentine President Javier Milei, the first foreign leader to meet with the president-elect since his victory in last week’s election.

Donald Trump has said it was an "honour" to meet Argentina’s President Javier Milei in Florida ahead of a conservative investment summit. The right-wing leader is the first foreign leader to meet Trump since his US presidential victory on 5 November.
