U.S. Walks Out of UN Security Council Meeting Amid Diplomatic Spat with France

The United States delegation walked out of a UN Security Council meeting during remarks by the French ambassador, following public French criticism of the U.S. human rights record. This diplomatic incident occurred after France's UN Mission posted on social media that the U.S. was no longer a 'beacon of human rights' after voting against extending the term of the UN high commissioner for human rights. The tensions highlight a growing rift between the two allies.
