Argentina targets UK in legal claim over Falklands oil exploration
UK Foreign Office minister Uma Kumaran criticised Argentina's campaign against companies operating in the Falklands and announced new protections for them.
Kumaran described Milei's remarks at the UN in New York as "inflammatory".
Argentinian President Javier Milei demanded the scrapping of the Sea Lion oilfield project approximately two weeks before the legal claim was filed.
