Argentina leader: Falkland Islands, in British hands

Argentine President Javier Milei admits that the Falkland Islands are currently in the hands of the United Kingdom.

In an interview with the BBC, the right-wing politician vowed to return the islands through diplomatic channels, but said there was no immediate solution.

His language on the status of the Falklands is different from past leaders, who have historically declared the islands to be Argentine.

President Milei acknowledged that it could take decades to gain sovereignty of the Falkland Islands from Great Britain and said Argentina does not "seek conflict".

It comes after he promised a "roadmap" for the islands to become Argentine on the 42nd anniversary of the Falklands War in early April.

He had criticized the politicians who "beat their chests demanding the sovereignty of the islands, but without any result".

The UK and Argentina went to war over the British overseas territory - known as the Malvinas in Argentina - in 1982.

The invasion claimed the lives of 255 British servicemen, three islanders and 649 Argentine personnel.

But President Miley praised Margaret Thatcher who was prime minister of the United Kingdom during the Falklands War./ CNA
