"Argentina's firebrand president Javier Milei warned yesterday that sanctions would be imposed on companies drilling for oil off the Falklands, while insisting that the islanders have no right to self-determination.
With an election just a year away and his poll numbers falling, Mr Milei said Argentina must 'recover these islands' and vowed to use 'all the tools of the state: diplomatic, economic, judicial and legal' to obstruct drilling at the Sea Lion oilfield, which is estimated to contain 1.7 billion barrels of oil."
