Milei: Give us a Hong Kong-style handover of Falklands
Javier Milei proposed a Hong Kong-style agreement for the Falkland Islands, referencing the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration where the UK handed Hong Kong to China with a 50-year political system guarantee.
Milei called for a peaceful and consensual solution for the Falklands, stating Argentines do not want war and dismissing the islanders' right to self-determination as invalid or illegitimate.
The UK's Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband responded that the islanders' right to self-determination is paramount and affirmed the UK's firm position on the Falklands.
Milei faces political challenges ahead of the 2027 election, including low approval ratings and opposition from his Vice President Victoria Villarruel, who holds opposing views on the Falklands issue.
