阿根廷总统米莱在周四的全国讲话中重申了对福克兰群岛的主权要求，声称有利于阿根廷的"变化之风"正在世界范围内吹拂13。米莱表示福克兰群岛是"我们的未来"，阿根廷需要"收复"这些岛屿3。英国国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷随即回应称，这一表述反映的"更多是阿根廷国内政治，而非关乎福克兰群岛本身"1。英国首相府也发表声明，对福克兰群岛的支持"坚定不移"2。
阿根廷政府同时宣布了更具体的举措。米莱宣布将签署法令，对任何从事岛屿附近油气生产的公司实施制裁3。其中，Sea Lion油田位于岛屿北方约220公里处，这是一个英阿合资项目，预计2028年开始生产3。特朗普在接受采访时表示，美国在福克兰群岛争议中不会支持英国3。
然而，福克兰群岛民众的态度与阿根廷政府形成鲜明对比。在2013年的公投中，岛民以99.8%的压倒性多数投票赞成保留英国海外领土地位3。英国目前在福克兰群岛驻有1000多名军队、先进战斗机和皇家海军巡逻队3。历史上，1982年阿根廷军政府曾入侵福克兰群岛，引发73天战争，造成649名阿根廷军人和255名英国军人阵亡3。
British officials have firmly rebuffed Argentina's renewed push for control of the Falkland Islands following remarks by Argentine President Javier Milei this week. 12 During a national address on Thursday, Milei asserted that "winds of change" are favoring Argentina's sovereignty claim over the territory, which Argentina calls the Malvinas Islands. 3 He declared that the islands represent "our future" and that Argentina must "recover" them. 3
UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting swiftly dismissed Milei's position, stating that the comments tell us "more about domestic politics in Argentina than it does about the Falkland Islands." 1 The UK Prime Minister's office reinforced this stance, declaring that British support for the Falkland Islands remains "unwavering." 2
Milei went further by announcing plans to issue a decree imposing sanctions on any company engaged in oil and gas production near the islands. 3 The Sea Lion oil field, a British-led joint venture located approximately 220 kilometers north of the islands and expected to begin production in 2028, appears to be a target of these measures. 3 The escalating tensions come amid indications that the Trump administration may alter its longstanding neutral position on the dispute. 3 Trump stated that the United States would not support Britain in the Falkland Islands controversy. 3
The renewed confrontation stands in stark contrast to the islanders' own preferences: a 2013 referendum saw 99.8 percent of residents vote to maintain the territory's status as a British Overseas Territory. 3 Britain currently maintains a military presence of over 1,000 troops, advanced fighter aircraft, and Royal Navy patrols in the Falklands. 3 The dispute has deep historical roots, stemming from Argentina's 1982 military invasion, which triggered a 73-day war resulting in 649 Argentine military deaths and 255 British military deaths. 3
