Argentina’s Milei walks fine line on Falklands amid US–UK tensions
Argentine President Javier Milei has recently intensified his rhetoric regarding the Falkland Islands, contrasting with his previous moderate stance. Amid rising tensions between the U.S. and the UK, Milei declared that the islands will always be Argentine, seeking to rally national sentiment. Experts suggest that this issue could serve as a political boost for Milei as his approval ratings decline due to inflation and corruption scandals.
