UK Responds to Milei’s Statements on Arms Exports and Falklands

The UK government has dismissed claims by Argentine President Javier Milei regarding ongoing discussions to lift a weapons export ban established post-Falklands War, stating there are “no specific talks” happening. Milei expressed his desire for diplomatic resolution over the Falklands but reaffirmed Argentina’s claim to sovereignty. The UK reiterated its commitment to the Falkland Islanders’ self-determination following a 2013 referendum. Milei plans to visit the UK next year, marking the first visit by an Argentine president since 1998.
