Argentina's Milei Escalates Falklands Dispute With Oil Sanctions On UK, Israeli Firms
Argentina's President Milei has announced plans to sign a decree sanctioning companies working on oil exploration of the Falkland Islands, coming a mere days after President Trump indicated that the US position on the archipelago was "under review".
The Libertarian-Right firebrand leader proclaimed quite provocatively that "The Falkland Islands are Argentinian, historically and legally. There is no debate" and added that the "winds of change" have more lately favored Argentina's claim.

1,000 Days Of Milei
Authored by Michael Talbot via BondVigilantes.com,
One thousand days is a long time in politics...
When I wrote about Javier Milei's first 100 days in office, Argentina was embarking on yet another attempt to break free from a cycle that had become painfully familiar: fiscal excess, monetary financing, inflation, capital controls and, eventually, crisis. Markets were optimistic, but they had been optimistic before. Argentina has a habit of disappointing even its most enthusiastic supporters.
