Milei threatens legal action over Falklands oil project

Argentine President Javier Milei has threatened legal action over a Falklands oil project, giving the United Kingdom two weeks to halt operations or face Argentina at an international maritime court. The move reignites the long-running sovereignty dispute over the islands, which Argentina calls the Malvinas, and puts pressure on the UK over drilling in contested South Atlantic waters.
Why now: Fresh drilling activity near the disputed Falkland Islands has prompted a dramatic diplomatic escalation from Milei.
