Argentine President Javier Milei flew to meet French President Emmanuel Macron at the ongoing Paris Olympics after tensions escalated between their countries over the Argentine soccer team's derogatory post-match chants about French players.
Argentina's Enzo Fernandez shared a short clip from the team's Copa America victory celebrations in Miami earlier this month. The footage shows triumphant Argentine players chanting a song considered racist toward French players of African heritage.
'They play for France but their parents are from Angola,' the refrain goes, with some transphobic slurs mixed in.
French officials castigated the Argentina athletes in the Instagram live video posted by Fernandez, who has since publicly apologized.
