Javier Milei responds to Donald Trump’s Falkland’s threat with strange demand | World | News

A leaked internal email from the Pentagon has suggested that the US should re-evaluate its support for Britain’s claim to the islands due to the lack of British support on Iran. The Pentagon email outlined potential measures to punish NATO allies perceived as not supporting U.S. operations in Iran, including a reassessment of Washington’s diplomatic support for Europe’s long-standing “imperial possessions” such as the Falkland Islands. Argentine foreign minister Pablo Quirno responded to the reports by calling for an end to what he described as British “colonialism” and calling for bilateral talks with Britain to reach a “peaceful and definitive solution”.

In a separate interview with Argentinian news outlet Neura Media, the president also said: “We are doing everything humanly possible to get the Falkland Islands back into Argentinian hands.

“Sovereignty cannot be discussed, but must be handled with reason and intelligence.”

Argentina has long claimed sovereignty over the Falkland Islands; This dispute escalated into war in 1982, when Argentine forces invaded before being defeated by Britain in a brief but intense conflict.

The US president is an ally of Argentina’s president, Javier Milei. Trump’s relationship with Prime Minister Keir Starmer has deteriorated significantly since the start of the Iran war. Trump publicly criticized Starmer’s refusal to fully participate in US-led strikes on Iran, accusing him of hesitancy and lack of support for allied actions.

Trump claims traditional “special relationship” is “not what it used to be” and expresses frustration with cooperation with UK

Asked about the leaked email, No 10’s spokesman said on Friday: “We could not be clearer about the UK’s position on the Falkland Islands. “This has been going on for a long time, it has not changed.

“Sovereignty remains with the United Kingdom and the islands’ right to self-determination is paramount. This has been and remains our consistent position.”

The spokesman added that Britain had expressed this position “clearly and consistently to successive US administrations”.
