Argentina’s Milei threatens to sue UK over Falkland Islands oil project

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · South America

Argentine President Javier Milei on Monday threatened to sue the UK over the Sea Lion oil project near the disputed Falkland Islands. Argentina claims sovereignty over the British-administered territory, where a 1982 war killed 255 British and 649 Argentine troops. Developers Navitas and Rockhopper say they hold valid British-issued exploration licences.
