Argentina Demands UK Halt Falklands Oil Project, Threatens UN Tribunal

Argentine President Javier Milei has issued a demand for Britain to abandon a planned oil project near the Falkland Islands, threatening to refer the matter to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. This marks a sharp escalation in the long-standing sovereignty dispute, as Milei's government shifts from diplomatic rhetoric to legal and economic pressure. The move could complicate UK-Argentina relations and raise the geopolitical risk profile for energy exploration in the South Atlantic.
