Argentina's Milei asserts Malvinas sovereignty, announces naval base and security council

President Javier Milei used a national address to reaffirm Argentina's claim to the Malvinas Islands, announcing the creation of a naval base in Tierra del Fuego and a National Security Council. The move signals a more assertive posture on the sovereignty dispute with the UK, though it remains rhetorical and lacks immediate operational detail. This could heighten diplomatic tensions with London and shift regional security dynamics in the South Atlantic.
