Milei gives UK two-week ultimatum to halt Falklands oil project

Argentina has given Britain two weeks to stop the Sea Lion oil project off the Falklands or face legal action before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.

• Milei instructed Argentina's Foreign Ministry to begin international arbitration, calling the operations "the illegal plundering of our resources."
• Milei warned that unless the "illegitimate exploitation" ends within two weeks, Argentina will take the case to the tribunal in Hamburg.
• Developers Rockhopper Exploration and Navitas Petroleum said they hold valid exploration licences issued by the UK.
• UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said Argentina "lacks the ability" to retake the Falklands by force.
