Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, on Wednesday sacked his foreign minister, Diana Mondino, after the country voted in favour of lifting the US economic embargo on Cuba at the United Nations.

Argentina was one of 187 countries that supported the non-binding UN resolution on Wednesday to which the US and Israel voted in opposition.

Milei replaced Mondino with the ambassador to Washington, Gerardo Werthein stating that Argentina was categorically opposed to the Cuban dictatorship.

Under the previous left wing, Argentina had enjoyed close relations with Cuba, backing the end of the economic embargo, which the US imposed in the 1960s when Cuba adopted communism.

Cuba has, in exchange, consistently supported Argentina’s claims of sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, a British overseas territory which Britain and Argentina waged a war over the territory in 1982.
