What we can confirm

Multiple reputable news outlets report that U.S. diplomats walked out of a United Nations Security Council meeting as the French delegation began speaking, in protest over France’s criticism of U.S. human rights positions and its support for renewing UN human rights chief Volker Türk’s term.[1][2][3][4][5] These accounts consistently describe the event as occurring during a Security Council meeting on Russia’s war in Ukraine, with the walkout timed to France taking the floor, which aligns with the claim that the U.S. walked out during remarks made by France.[1][2][3][4][5]
