President Javier Milei is promising to conduct a deep purge of Argentina’s diplomatic ranks after the nation voted to condemn the US embargo on Cuba at the United Nations.

“Every person involved in that decision, I’m ready to fire them all,” Milei said Monday in a televised interview. “I think they are traitors to the country.”
