US may ‘review position’ on Malvinas Islands sovereignty, Trump says
British outlets report Washington is using the issue to threaten the UK to get it to increase defense spending on NATO La entrada US may ‘review position’ on Malvinas Islands sovereignty, Trump says se publicó primero en Buenos Aires Herald .
U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested that his administration may reconsider its stance on the sovereignty dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Malvinas Islands, according to recent reports. While the U.S. has traditionally avoided endorsing either side in the ongoing conflict, Trump indicated on Monday that he reviews all positions.
The potential review came after British media reported that the U.S. had threatened to challenge British sovereignty over the islands if the U.K. did not boost its defense spending and NATO contributions. Trump responded to reporters in the Oval Office by saying that he regularly reviews positions and that the issue would be discussed during a cabinet meeting.
Argentine Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno welcomed Trump's comments, emphasizing that Argentina's sovereignty claim would be pursued through diplomatic means and that the nation cannot rely on any external assistance. The U.K.'s stance remains firm, with Chancellor John Healey reaffirming the British claim to the islands.
