Argentine President Javier Milay, nicknamed "South American Trump," has ordered his delegation to withdraw from the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29), the Guardian reported.

Ana Ramas, chief executive of Argentina's delegation, told the Guardian on the 13th local time that she had been ordered out by the government.

The General Assembly of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change opened in Baku, Azerbaijan, on the 11th for an 11-day visit, and the Argentine delegation returned home just three days after its opening.

Milay, who took office as Argentina's president in December last year, is a far-right politician who has vowed to withdraw from the Paris climate change agreement, calling the climate crisis a socialist hoax.

From his first day in office, he abolished the Ministry of Environment and Women's Human Rights one after another and transferred each function to the presidential secretary's office, and greatly eased environmental regulations on forest and glacier protection, citing economic development.

Amid predictions that former President Donald Trump's return to power will significantly reduce the power of the Paris Climate Change Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Argentina's withdrawal from the country has increased anxiety, the Guardian said.
