The UK has defended its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, stating that the islands are British and self-determination rests with the islanders. This comes after a report by Reuters that President Trump is considering reprisals towards NATO allies for not supporting the U.S. military offensive in Iran. The Pentagon has reportedly suggested suspending Spain from NATO, following Spain's refusal to use its bases for the Iran war. The UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and Conservative Party Leader Kemi Badenoch both supported the UK's claim of British sovereignty. The Argentine government is doing "everything humanly possible" to return the Argentine Malvinas to Argentina.
