President Javier Milei said that he wants Argentina to become “a power” so that the inhabitants of the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands “prefer to be Argentine” rather than British. Milei made his remarks in a speech commemorating the 1982 war against the United Kingdom and Argentina’s outstanding sovereignty claim over the disputed British territory. The United Kingdom rejects Argentina’s claim and considers that the roughly 3,600 inhabitants of the Malvinas Islands have the right to self-determination.
