Argentina’s far-right populist President Javier Milei says he is withdrawing Argentina from the World Health Organization, following in the footsteps of Donald Trump. Like Trump, Milei cited the U.N. agency’s response to the COVID pandemic, namely its backing of lifesaving lockdowns. Last month, Milei gave a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos blasting feminism, LGBTQ communities, the fight against climate change, social welfare and so-called wokeism. Mass demonstrations took place in Argentina following what protesters called Milei’s hate speech.
