Britain emphasized on Friday that the Falkland Islands “are British,” responding to Argentine President Javier Milei’s assertion that global opinion now favors Argentina’s claim to the archipelago. Milei cited U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent statements suggesting a potential reevaluation of Washington’s longstanding neutrality in the territorial dispute. The controversy intensified following Trump’s remarks and a British-Israeli oil exploration project near the islands, which has drawn criticism from Argentina. France 24’s London correspondent, Bénédicte Paviot, provides an in-depth analysis of Downing Street’s response to these developments.
