Argentina's ruling party will modify its bill to toughen sanctions on offshore oil exploration near the Malvinas/Falkland Islands, backing down after US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau's visit. The opposition had already rejected the proposed Security Council, and the government now seeks to unblock the legislation by accepting changes. This marks a reversal of the government's initial hardline stance, likely to avoid diplomatic friction with Washington.
