Milei government protests British military vessel's presence in Argentine waters

Milei government protests the British military vessel HMS Medway’s presence in Argentine-controlled waters as tensions over the South Atlantic dispute resurfaced following Argentina’s 2-1 World Cup comeback win over England. Hours after the match, Argentina’s Foreign Ministry published a formal diplomatic note it said it submitted at least two days earlier to the British Embassy, rejecting the Royal Navy patrol ship’s deployment. The statement said HMS Medway was “illegally deployed” in the Falkland Islands, with movements not notified under bilateral agreements and involving transit through Argentine territorial waters. The note rejected the incursion as incompatible with United Nations resolutions while the sovereignty dispute remains unresolved. The article also recalls the 1982 war, which cost 649 Argentine and 255 British servicemen.
