Argentina’s President Javier Gerardo Milei said the successful model of the United Nations had been replaced by a supranational model of government comprising international bureaucrats that sought to impose a specific way of life on citizens around the world.  Argentina had taken “the right path”, albeit “the thorniest one”, he said, “because prosperity and progress for our peoples cannot be delayed.”  Likewise, President Trump of the United States understands that “the time has come to reverse a dynamic which is leading the United States towards a disaster - and we know that a disaster in the United States is a global disaster.” Mr. Trump “knows that he must do what's necessary […] before it's too late”, he said of Mr. Trump’s “successful” policy to halt illegal immigration.

Mr. Trump is also restructuring the terms of international trade in an unprecedented fashion, he continued.  “That's a titanic task which gets to the very core of the global economic system because that system has been gnawing away at the industrial heart of his country - and the country now has an unparalleled debt crisis.”  Describing the United States as infiltrated by left-wing factions that are seeking to undermine any reform deemed necessary, he stressed: “Both I and Donald Trump know what we're doing in the face of these challenges.”

The UN must lead this paradigm shift, he said, outlining the necessary principles to achieve the goal.  First, the principle of a core mandate means the central mission of the United Nations is to preserve international peace and security; everything else must be viewed as complementary. Second, the principle of international subsidiarity means the UN must tackle an issue solely when it is clear that the problem exceeds the national capacity for action.  Third, the principle of normative simplification and streamlining means that peace is not only the absence of conflict; it requires prosperous societies.

He reiterated claims of sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands*, South Georgia Islands and South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas that continue to be illegally occupied, calling on the United Kingdom to resume bilateral negotiations.  He demanded the immediate release of Nahuel Gallo, an Argentine citizen who was abducted and is being detained arbitrarily in Venezuela without charge.  He also called for the immediate release of the hostages in Gaza.
