Trump revisits Malvinas War in UK interview: ‘It was a long time ago’
The remarks come on the heels of another ambiguous reference the US president made regarding the islands' sovereignty La entrada Trump revisits Malvinas War in UK interview: ‘It was a long time ago’ se publicó primero en Buenos Aires Herald .
During a recent interview on British outlet GB News, U.S. President Donald Trump refrained from answering whether the U.S. would support the UK in a future conflict with Argentina over the Malvinas Islands. Instead, Trump praised the British military for their victory in the 1982 war and emphasized that the conflict "was a long time ago."
Trump's comments, though seemingly supportive of the UK's position, were interpreted by some as a form of "threat" by the British outlet on GB News. The remarks came just hours before Argentine President Javier Milei was set to deliver a nationally televised address, reportedly announcing measures related to the disputed territory.
Milei has previously expressed interest in the U.S. supporting Argentina's claim to the islands, citing the strategic relationship between the two countries. Trump's ambiguous stance on the Malvinas issue appears to be linked to his dissatisfaction with the UK's lack of support in his recent offensive against Iran.
