President Javier Milei has struggled to navigate nationalist sensitivities around the contested archipelago it knows as the Malvinas, which Britain knows as the Falklands Islands controls and Argentina claims as its own
For decades, Argentines could count on coming together April 2 around a steadfast claim to the islands they know as the Malvinas and — at least until recently — expect their president to share that conviction. But President Javier Milei on Tuesday continued his struggle to navigate nationalist sensitivities around the archipelago, which Britain controls and most of the world refers to as the Falkland Islands.
He also made nice with British diplomat David Cameron earlier this year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where the two spoke about possible investments in Argentina. Mere weeks later, Cameron became the first British foreign secretary in three decades to visit the Falkland Islands, touring battle sites and vowing the islands would remain part of Britain “forever”. Argentina’s provincial governors decried Cameron’s trip as an outrageous provocation.
