PoliticsMilei threatens sanctions over Falklands oil drilling

The measures could target firms, suppliers, shareholders and directors linked to the Sea Lion oil project. Britain reaffirmed its commitment to the islands, while critics said Milei was reviving the dispute for domestic political gain amid falling approval ratings and scrutiny of his US ties.
