President Javier Milei says sovereignty over the islands stays a nationwide goal.
It has been dormant for many years, however the row between Argentina and the UK over the Falkland Islands has been revived.
It began with a joint British-Israeli oil exploration mission off the archipelago’s north coast, to which Buenos Aires vehemently objected.
President Javier Milei has now threatened to sanction firms working there.
His push to reclaim the islands was bolstered by United States President Donald Trump’s remark that he could rethink Washington’s place on the territory.
Britain and Argentina went to struggle over the islands greater than 4 many years in the past.
May the dispute escalate into one other armed confrontation?
