Milei warns oil firms operating near Falklands of sanctions over sovereignty dispute

Argentine President Javier Milei has threatened sanctions against oil companies conducting operations in waters off the Falkland Islands. The warning comes alongside a reiteration of Argentina's longstanding territorial claim over the British overseas territory. Milei expressed confidence in Argentina's position, suggesting that current global conditions — described as 'winds of change' — favour his country's claim. The Falkland Islands have been a point of contention between Argentina and the United Kingdom for decades, most notably leading to the 1982 Falklands War.
