What happened
Argentine President Javier Milei raised the Malvinas sovereignty dispute at the UN General Assembly, warning that Argentina could take matters into its own hands if the UN fails to act. Milei also condemned British-approved oil development around the islands, which Buenos Aires maintains are part of its territory.

Why it matters
The decades-old dispute has recently flared up again following Milei's heightened claim. These renewed tensions are occurring as US President Donald Trump has cast doubt on whether America would support Britain in a potential conflict over the territory.
