Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has launched a scathing attack on the president of Argentina, Javier Milei, accusing him of “gifting” the Malvinas Islands to the United Kingdom and halting the Telesur signal in the country.
In a recent broadcast, Maduro referred to Milei as a “puppet and a sellout” for his actions, suggesting that similar motives could lead to a situation where Venezuela’s Guayana Esequiba territory could be handed over to Exxon Mobil.
Maduro went on to criticize Milei for allegedly wanting to turn all of Argentina into a colony, claiming that the Argentine president is afraid of the Telesur media outlet.
The Venezuelan president’s comments come amidst escalating tensions between the two countries, with Maduro accusing Milei of prioritizing foreign interests over national sovereignty.
Maduro’s remarks have sparked outrage and controversy, with many questioning the validity of his claims and the impact they may have on diplomatic relations between Venezuela and Argentina.
