> Argentine President Javier Milei has given the UK two weeks to stop the Sea Lion offshore oil project near the Falkland Islands or face proceedings before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. Argentina also threatens sanctions against companies involved, while the UK and project developers defend their licenses. Production is expected to start in 2028.
