US Diplomats Walk Out of UN Meeting After France Criticizes Human Rights Record Under Trump
US diplomats staged a walkout during a United Nations meeting after France criticized the country's human rights record under President Trump. The incident occurred during a UN Security Council meeting focused on the Ukraine-Russia war. The walkout followed the Trump administration's imposition of tariffs on numerous countries, citing 'forced labor' as justification. France's criticism highlighted the US's shift away from its traditional role as a human rights leader. The US ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, expressed disappointment over France's remarks, defending the US's stance on human rights.
