Milei Says Argentina Moving Closer To Reclaiming Falkland Islands. Argentine President Javier Milei says his government is "getting closer every day" to recovering sovereignty over the Falkland Islands through diplomatic efforts. His comments followed Argentina's World Cup semifinal victory over England, where players displayed a banner declaring "The Malvinas are Argentine.” Milei defended the team's actions, calling the message a legitimate expression of national feeling despite previously urging football and politics not be mixed. Britain condemned the banner, with Business Secretary Peter Kyle calling it inappropriate and Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office reaffirming British sovereignty over the islands. FIFA said it is reviewing the incident before deciding whether to open disciplinary proceedings against Argentina. The Falkland Islands, known as the Malvinas in Argentina, have remained the subject of a long-running sovereignty dispute since the 1982 war. Milei also responded to calls for the United States to support Argentina's claim, saying his government is pursuing the issue through diplomacy. The latest dispute has reignited tensions between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the South Atlantic territory.
