"There are no world powers without military power, Milei said, according to the Telegraph, adding: There is no country that counts in the international context if they can't defend their borders."
"Sovereignty of the Falkland Islands is not up for negotiation and we will defend its right to self-determination."
"There are no specific talks with Argentina about the UK relaxing its arms export controls."
"More broadly, we look forward to deepening our co-operation with Argentina across areas including trade, science and culture to deliver growth for the British people."
Argentina's president said discussions had begun with the UK about lifting an arms export ban imposed after the 1982 Falklands War. The ban prevents exports judged to enhance Argentina's military capability. The 1982 conflict lasted ten weeks and caused significant casualties on both sides. The Argentinian president argued that nations need military power to defend their borders and signalled a planned UK visit in 2026 with a preference for diplomatic resolution over the islands. The UK government rejected claims of negotiations on arms exports, reiterated Falklands sovereignty, referenced a 2013 island referendum, and offered broader cooperation in trade, science and culture.
