  1. Follow-up: After US concern, Milei government softens Falklands/Malvinas sovereignty bill; UK PM Burnham discusses islands with Chile's president

    When the US deputy secretary of state visited Buenos Aires, Washington confirmed concern about clauses in Milei's 'Malvinas law' draft that would sanction oil companies operating in the Falklands/Malvinas, and did not hide its worry. La Nación reported that the Milei government then diluted the bill and made further changes. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham spoke with Chile's president on Saturday, Oct 24, about deeper defence, security, science and trade cooperation; a Downing Street statement said Burnham asked Chile to support ensuring Falkland Islanders keep the ability to exercise self-determination.

  2. UK PM Andy Burnham says he wants an 'honest discussion' with the public about restoring freedom of movement with the EU

    British Prime Minister Andy Burnham told the Sunday Times he wanted an 'honest', 'fact- and evidence-based' discussion with the public about the possibility of restoring freedom of movement between the UK and the EU. He has said a new deal could mean Britain 'going all the way' back into the EU, with other options including joining the single market or a customs union — both requiring acceptance of some EU rules, and single-market entry also requiring freedom of movement. He had previously pledged to keep Labour's 2024 manifesto red lines of no return to free movement and no joining the single market or customs union.

  3. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham raises Falklands 'Sea Lion' oil project with Trump; US Deputy Secretary of State Landau says Washington eyes Argentine sanctions bill

    The British government said Prime Minister Andy Burnham spoke with Trump on Friday, Oct 23, about the Sea Lion joint UK-Israeli oil exploration project near the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands and raised the economic impact on Britain and the US of Argentina's 'coercive measures'; Argentina last week asked the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to block the project. At a joint press conference in Buenos Aires on Oct 22 with Argentine Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said Washington was looking 'with interest' at an Argentine bill toughening sanctions on companies involved in oil projects in Falklands waters, to protect US business interests, while playing down concerns; he met President Milei on Oct 23. Britain and Argentina fought a 10-week war over the islands in 1982, and islanders voted overwhelmingly in a 2013 referendum to remain British.
