The national Government released a video on Sunday night aimed at reinforcing the sovereignty claim over the Malvinas Islands. According to Infobae América, the piece was shared on social media by Santiago Oría, director of Audiovisual Productions for the Presidency of the Nation.

The material brings together fragments of Javier Milei’s national address, in which the President said the Malvinas belong to Argentina “by history and by right” and stated that there is no debate on that point. Another passage also appears in which he said the claim is just and that the islands “are ours and they were taken from us.”

According to Infobae América, the video also adds statements by Donald Trump about the United Kingdom and the territorial dispute. Among those excerpts is his response to a press question about whether the United States is reviewing its position on the islands: “I always review all positions. That is just one of many.”

The post also incorporates other Trump remarks about the British situation, as well as a fragment of a news report that raises questions about the institutional continuity of the United Kingdom. According to Infobae América, that segment mentions a meeting of leaders from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to move forward with an independence plan.

At the end, the piece uses images of the Argentina national team’s goals against England in the 2026 World Cup, accompanied by a song popularized by fans during that tournament. Infobae América noted that the video is being released while the Government is advancing a diplomatic and legislative agenda on the Malvinas issue, which includes sending to Congress the draft National Sovereignty Defense Law and sanctioning processes against companies linked to hydrocarbon exploitation in the Malvinas Basin without Argentine authorization.
