UK asks Interpol to reject Argentina’s ‘politically motivated’ requests for Falklands oil arrests

The UK has appealed to Interpol to reject Argentina’s requests for the arrest of individuals involved in a large oil project off the Falkland Islands. The British government has described the requests as ‘politically motivated’. Tensions over the sovereignty of the British overseas territory have been rising, with Argentina’s new government led by Javier Milei pushing for a stronger stance on the issue.
