Milei touts Argentina's trade surplus, urges world to 'look south'

Argentine President Javier Milei claimed Argentina is generating "dollars out of its ears" due to a strong trade balance, urging the world to "look south" after his UN General Assembly address. Speaking to press in New York, Milei reaffirmed Argentina's sovereignty claim over the Falkland Islands, vowing no cession and expressing confidence in a diplomatic solution, citing Hong Kong as a potential precedent for the UK. Milei projected a trade surplus of $25 billion and energy surplus of $10 billion, touted investment interest in energy and minerals, and cited domestic gains including reduced poverty and inflation.
