AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoFalklands at the UN: Argentine President Javier Milei used his UN General Assembly speech to renew his country’s claim over the Falkland Islands (“Malvinas”), calling the issue a “national cause” and accusing the UN of “looking the other way” while unilateral actions continue, with Sea Lion offshore oil development a central target. Escalation threat: Milei said Argentina would “take matters into our own hands” through legal and economic steps rather than waiting for the UN to act, while also arguing self-determination doesn’t apply to islanders. UK response: Britain hit back, saying Milei’s stance is “wholly incompatible” with UN principles and “not the behaviour we expect of a democracy,” and reaffirmed islanders’ right to self-determination. Diplomacy backdrop: UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham told the UN the UK will “stand firm” against threats to Falklands sovereignty, and met Donald Trump in New York, where Trump praised Burnham but kept differences over other territorial disputes in view. Domestic pressure: Argentine Falklands veterans have publicly criticised Milei’s sabre-rattling, saying the islands are being used as a political distraction.
