Britain will stand firm over Falklands, UK PM Burnham tells Trump

Prime Minister Andy Burnham of Britain addressed the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the United Nations on Tuesday. Burnham emphasized Britain's unwavering commitment to defending the islands, stating that they would "stand firm in the face of any threats." He reaffirmed Britain's support for the "right of the Falkland Islanders to self-determination and to remain British."

The meeting took place a few days after Trump announced he was reviewing the United States' neutral stance on the Falklands, and shortly after Argentine President Javier Milei threatened sanctions against oil companies operating in the islands.
