President Javier Milei delivered a nationwide broadcast on Thursday evening, discussing the improved chances of regaining sovereignty over the Malvinas islands due to the United States revising its previous policy of neutrality. Milei vowed sanctions for firms active or supporting those active in Malvinas waters. He defended his decision to use the national broadcast mechanism against critics, calling them "human shits" and emphasizing the importance and strategic value of the Malvinas cause.
The broadcast was triggered by US President Donald Trump's statement last Monday about the possible review of US neutrality in the sovereignty dispute. Milei also opened the American Congress of FIA, urged a Grand Prix for Buenos Aires, attended a Cabinet meeting, and visited Chile to meet with his local counterpart and US State Department undersecretary Sarah Rogers.
