> Downing Street says the UK's position on the Falkland Islands is “unwavering” after Argentine President Javier Milei called the islands historically and legally Argentine. Milei said the “winds of change” favoured Argentina’s claim and pledged sanctions against firms planning to exploit oil near the islands.
