Argentina withdraws delegates from climate summit as Milei heads for Mar-a-Lago
CNNCNN — Argentine delegates at the COP29 United Nations climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, have been ordered to withdraw from negotiations and return home, according to a source at the country’s foreign ministry. During his presidential campaign, Milei said that policies linking climate change to human actions were false, and accused climate scientists of being “lazy socialists.” Javier Milei, president of Argentina, speaks during UNGA at the United Nations headquarters on September 24, 2024 in New York City. Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images Milei, who is unabashedly pro-US, has also taken a cooler stance towards leftist trade partners in the region and overseas, including by taking steps to distance Argentina from Cuba and Venezuela. A source told CNNE last week that Milei plans on meeting US President-elect Donald Trump, and that he also aims to attend Trump’s inauguration in January 2025.
