Argentina
The Government backed Trump’s remarks on the Malvinas and is analyzing a possible U.S. role
Casa Rosada again praised the U.S. president’s statements amid the dispute with the United Kingdom. Defense Minister Carlos Presti said the approach points to a peaceful solution.
The national Government once again highlighted Donald Trump’s statements on the Malvinas Islands and, according to Todo Noticias, is evaluating some form of U.S. participation in the dispute with the United Kingdom.
In that context, Defense Minister Carlos Presti said the U.S. president’s remarks were not “against anyone,” but rather aimed at a peaceful solution. In comments cited by Todo Noticias, he said the issue is being handled by the Government “in a very integrated and very coordinated way” and stated that both President Javier Milei and Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno will be analyzing those remarks.
Presti also stressed that the Malvinas are “a national cause” and that the recovery of sovereignty can only be pursued through diplomatic and peaceful means. He also underscored the strategic alliance with the United States in defense matters.
Trump had recently warned about a “potential disaster” in the event of a conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom over sovereignty of the islands. According to Todo Noticias, the U.S. president said both countries are currently at odds and assured that, if called upon to intervene, he could probably resolve the situation.
According to that outlet, Trump also recalled that the British “came in and took over” the islands and cast doubt on whether London would today be in a position to repeat such an operation.
