> Argentina’s president Javier Milei said Monday that he would take Britain to court over Sea Lion, an oil venture near the disputed Falkland Islands. Argentina says the UK-administered territory belongs to it; the 1982 conflict left 255 British and 649 Argentine troops dead. The developers, Navitas and Rockhopper, say UK-granted exploration licences are valid.
