Argentine President Javier Milei announced on Thursday, in a televised national address, sanctions against companies taking part in hydrocarbon development off the Falklands without Argentine authorization, along with the construction of a naval base in Tierra del Fuego, at the country’s southern tip. The message, recorded at the Casa Rosada alongside his full cabinet, raised tensions with the United Kingdom at a moment when Washington has cast doubt on its traditional neutrality in the dispute.
