PoliticsWhy is Argentina reigniting the Falklands dispute?

Argentina’s President Javier Milei says sovereignty over the Falkland Islands remains a national objective. The dispute with the United Kingdom, dormant for decades, has resurfaced after a joint British-Israeli oil exploration project off the islands’ north coast. Milei has threatened sanctions against companies operating there, while Donald Trump says Washington may reconsider its position, raising questions about a possible escalation into armed confrontation.
