Argentine President Javier Milei announced the construction of a naval base in Tierra del Fuego. The measure is part of a strategy to reinforce Argentina's military presence in the southern region of the country.
The initiative occurs in the context of the conflict over the Falklands/Malvinas, territory claimed by Argentina but controlled by the United Kingdom since 1833. Milei also sanctioned oil companies related to activities in the island region.
The decision represents an intensification of Argentina's posture in the territorial dispute with the United Kingdom. The construction of the naval base in Tierra del Fuego aims to strengthen surveillance and control capacity of Argentina's exclusive economic zone.
