> Britain reaffirmed on Friday that the Falkland Islands are British after Argentine President Javier Milei said the “winds of change” appeared to favour Argentina’s claim, pointing to Washington’s willingness to reconsider its neutrality. Donald Trump’s threat to enter the dispute and an oil project near the islands involving British and Israeli partners have reignited tensions.
