Argentina\u2019s President Javier Milei has dismissed his foreign affairs minister hours after the country voted in favor of lifting the U.S. blockade of Cuba at the United Nations General Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Argentinian Foreign Minister Diana Mondino was replaced by Argentina\u2019s ambassador to the U.S., Gerardo Werthein, Milei\u2019s spokesman Manuel Adorni said on his X account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur country is categorically opposed to the Cuban dictatorship, and it will remain firm in promoting a foreign policy that condemns all regimes that perpetuate the violation of human rights and individual freedoms,\u201d Milei\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Wednesday, 187 nations, including Argentina, voted in favor of a UN resolution condemning the U.S. blockade of Cuba, with only the United States and Israel voting against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since taking power in December 2023, libertarian Milei has veered his country\u2019s foreign policy to be more aligned toward the U.S. and Israel interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milei has expressed his total support of right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s government over its bombardment and invasion of Gaza. His stand differs from most of Latin America \u2014 where Bolivia and Colombia have even severed ties with Israel and at least five countries in the region, including Brazil, have pulled ambassadors from Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Argentina\u2019s vote at the U.N. is the latest episode of a troubled period of Mondino as Foreign Relations minister. Last week, Modino\u2019s office removed a press release after writing \u201cFalklands\u201d instead of \u201cMalvinas,\u201d as the Argentina calls the British-controlled archipelago in the South Atlantic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
