US Walks Out of UN Meeting After France Criticism
The United States walked out of a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine after France compared the US to authoritarian states over human rights votes.
The US accused France of 'disingenuous grandstanding,' while France stood by its criticism.
The walkout occurred during France's speech amid tensions over the human rights chief's reappointment.
The incident highlights growing diplomatic friction between the US and its traditional European allies over the Ukraine conflict and human rights policy.
