> The government of Argentine President Javier Milei has launched international arbitration against Britain over the Sea Lion oil project. It says it will ask the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to order a halt if Britain refuses to stop the project, escalating the sovereignty dispute over the Falkland Islands, known in Argentina as the Malvinas.
