The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said on Monday (31st) that he does not rule out "reviewing" the American position on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. When questioned by journalists at the White House on the matter, Trump said he "always reviews every position" and that this is just one of many he is analyzing.
Like most Western countries, the United States recognizes that the United Kingdom administers the archipelago in practice but does not take a position on its sovereignty, which is claimed by Argentina. This position has been maintained by Washington for decades.
According to information published last week by the British newspaper Daily Telegraph, Washington would be willing to review this position as a way to pressure the United Kingdom into increasing its military spending. The possible change in the American stance could benefit Argentina's claim over the archipelago.
The article was cut off and does not present a complete conclusion, leaving Trump's response about the new British prime minister, Andy Burnham, incomplete.
