Milei Sets 2026 London Trip, Seeks End to UK Arms Curbs, Reasserts Falklands Claim

He portrays the outreach as part of a pro‑West pivot grounded in claims of economic stabilization.

Overview

  • He confirmed plans to visit the United Kingdom in April–May 2026, which would be the first visit to London by an Argentine president since 1998.
  • Milei said Argentina’s sovereignty claim over the Malvinas/Falklands is non‑negotiable and that the country will never renounce it.
  • He reported that démarches have begun with London to lift long‑standing British restrictions on arms sales to Argentina, describing the effort as an ongoing negotiation.
  • He indicated any expansion of trade ties would be calibrated to geopolitical risk, and he framed any path to resolving the islands’ status as through dialogue, including respect for islanders’ wishes as reported.
  • He tied the foreign‑policy stance to his domestic narrative, praising the passage of the 2026 budget and citing what he says are a closed fiscal deficit, a 30% cut in public spending, and monthly inflation near 2.5%, while reaffirming alignment with the United States, praising Donald Trump, criticizing Nicolás Maduro, and noting ties with Giorgia Meloni and interest in Nigel Farage.
