Argentine President Javier Milei has fired Foreign Minister Diana Mondino after the country supported lifting the U.S. economic embargo on Cuba at the United Nations.
The South American country was just one of 187 countries that supported a non-binding U.N. resolution on Wednesday that called upon the United States to lift its economic embargo against the communist island.
Two countries, Israel and the United States voted to oppose the resolution, a move that upset Milei since it was the first time his country has not supported Washington and Tel Aviv since he took office.
Milei was replaced by Gerardo Werthein, Argentina’s ambassador to Washington, according to reports from Milei’s office, which told media it was “categorically opposed to the Cuban dictatorship.”
