Trumps Plan to Embarrass Visiting King Charles -STIR UP Conflict of Falkland Islands
UK position on Falklands will NOT change, No 10 says after leaked Pentago memo The Guardian 25 APR 2026 https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=675 Internal email proposes US should reassess support for UK claim to islands because of lack of support for Iran war Downing Street has been forced to insist that Britain will NOT yield sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, after a leaked Pentagon email proposed the US should reassess its support for the UKs claim on the islands because of a lack of British support over Iran. The memo reflected ways in which Trump could punish Britain for failing to follow the US lead in bombing Iran, and comes before a potentially fraught three day state visit to the US by King Charles. It argued, according to Reuters, that the US could review a policy of endorsing European claims to longstanding imperial possessions, and highlighted the Falklands, subject of the 1982 war between Britain and Argentina. The report immediately prompted pushback from the UK government, opposition leaders, veterans and the Falklands, underscoring a rapid decline in the tone of Anglo American relations in the past few weeks. We could not be clearer about the UKs position on the Falkland Islands, the prime ministers spokesperson said when asked about the email. Its longstanding. Its unchanged. Sovereignty rests with the UK, and the islands right to self determination is paramount. https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/e0eb9...none&crop=none Argentine foreign minister Pablo Quirno responded to the reports by reiterating his countrys willingness to resume bilateral negotiations for a peaceful and definitive solution Quirno characterised the current status of the islands, which are sometimes called the Malvinas, as a colonial situation and expressed gratitude for international support regarding Argentinas claims. https://humboldttravel.co.uk/wp-cont...s-Resize-1.jpg https://resources.travellocal.com/co...Cove_large.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014...15_964x681.jpg https://www.historyguy.com/british-s...klands-war.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MnaifNbWYE...er,+1983+2.jpg https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JniDR6c6C...s1600/0056.jpg https://www.iwm.org.uk/sites/default...?itok=nHiVGYv3 https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...DhozXASzeJuMSA https://cdn.britannica.com/78/90078-...May-2-1982.jpg http://www.alonereaders.com/Images/A...19_612_883.png https://media.iwm.org.uk/ciim5/33/737/large_000000.jpg https://higheducationhere.com/wp-con...2/05/image.jpg http://www.flaginstitute.org/wp/wp-c...s/FAIS0001.png |
