Milei accused Britain of the "illegal plundering" of Argentine resources and said the dispute could be taken to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea

Argentina's poverty rate rose to 32.3% in the first half of 2026, up from 28.2%, putting pressure on President Milei ahead of the 2027 election.

Argentina's President Javier Milei:I want to be clear with the world and express the position of the Argentine State. The Malvinas (Falkland Islands) are Argentine by history and by right. There is no discussion about it. The islands have been part of Argentine territory since the origins of our nation. In 1833, the United Kingdom occupied the Malvinas (Falkland Islands), expelled the Argentine authorities, and established a colonial situation that continues to this day. This means that the islanders, being an implanted population in a usurped territory, do not have a legitimate right to self-determination, and that any argument based on referendums held on the islands is invalid
