UK Government Response to Argentina's Falkland Aggression

Thank you. In recent week, weeks, Mr.

Speaker, the Argentine government has increased its

aggression, its economic aggression towards the

Falkland Islands.

Given this, could the Prime Minister update the House

on the

actions the government are taking in response to

that belligerence?

Prime Minister.

Mr. Speaker, our position is unwavering.

The Falkland Islands are British and will remain so because that is the

overwhelming will of the Falkland Islanders.

We have made that clear to Argentina directly.

We will not allow the islanders to be used as a prop in

Argentinian domestic politics. I raised this issue

directly with President Trump just a few weeks ago.

Uh, we will not, uh, allow, uh, Britain, uh, or

indeed the Falkland Islands to be bullied in this way.

Uh, we will seek to revol- resolve the situation, but we will not

hesitate to use more robust measures if necessary.

Hear,

hear.
