Argentina Reasserts Claim Over Falkland Islands Amid Renewed Dispute

Kathmandu. After US President Donald Trump signaled that the United States' long-standing policy on the Falkland Islands (known as 'Malvinas' in Argentina) could be reviewed, the decades-old dispute between Argentina and Britain has reignited. Argentine President Javier Milei announced plans to impose strict sanctions on companies conducting oil exploration near the Falklands, reiterating his country's claim over the islands.

In a speech on Thursday night, Milei claimed that the Falkland Islands are 'historically and legally Argentine.' According to him, there are signs of changes in the international situation in favor of Argentina's claim recently.
