YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSimon Marks joins James O’Brien as Donald Trump is looking for ways to punish NATO countries for not supporting the Iran War, including reviewing Britain’s claim to the Falkland Islands.
Options are being detailed in an email in which some NATO members have been named and shamed for not permitting the US access to bases, or overflight rights, for the Iran War, according to officials.
One of the options mentioned is reassessing US diplomatic support for “imperial possessions” attached to Europe, including the Falkland Islands, according to Reuters.
Ownership over the British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic has long been contested by Argentina.
Tensions over the territory's sovereignty led to war under Margaret Thatcher, when Argentinian forces invaded the islands in 1982.
The current leader of Argentina, Javier Milei, is one of Trump’s closest allies.
Britain initially blocked the US from using its bases to attack Iran, but following retaliatory Iranian airstrikes, it relented and allowed defensive operations to “protect British interests”.
