No 10 says Falklands sovereignty rests with UK after report of US 'review'

The report notes that Argentina's Milei is a close ally of Donald Trump and modelled his presidential campaign on the US president.

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said they do not work based on emails, but on official documents and official positions taken by the US government.

A NATO official stated that the alliance's founding treaty does not provide for suspension of membership or expulsion.

An internal Pentagon email reported by Reuters suggested the US could consider options to punish NATO allies it believed failed to support its war effort, including possible suspension of Spain from NATO.

Downing Street stated that the Falkland Islands' sovereignty rests with the UK, underscoring the islanders' right to self-determination and the UK's long-standing position that sovereignty remains with Britain.

Argentina's President Javier Milei said he would set out a 'roadmap' for the islands to become part of Argentina, arguing it would take decades and criticizing those who claim sovereignty without results.

A referendum among the island's eligible voters produced a near-unanimous result to remain a UK overseas territory, with turnout over 90%.

The Reagan administration was described as seeking a nuanced position during the war, including consideration of a joint US-Brazilian peacekeeping force as part of peace efforts.

During the conflict, 649 Argentine military personnel and 255 British military personnel were killed, along with three Falkland Islanders.

A 10-week conflict in 1982 began after Argentina's military ruler Leopoldo Galtieri ordered an invasion of the Falkland Islands, prompting Britain to deploy a naval task force to recapture the territory.
