British Prime Minister Andy Burnham told US President Donald Trump that London will defend the Falkland Islands and protect residents' right to self-determination, Reuters reported. Burnham said Trump clearly understood Britain's firm position on the islands, which are disputed with Argentina, and that London will firmly oppose any threats to the territory. Argentina's President Javier Milei said on September 22 he will not use military force to regain control of the islands. The 1982 war ended in Argentine defeat, and a 2013 referendum saw 99.8% of islanders vote to remain British.
