The address
Milei announced sanctions on unauthorised foreign operations around the islands and a decree to accelerate a military base facing them. La Derecha Diario's report passed 1.4 million views, his own announcement 5.3 million.
Trump's answer
Asked if he would step in if Argentina invaded, Trump said Britain abandoned him on Iran and asked why he should help. Eric Daugherty's clip passed 929,000 views.
The British room
Robert Jenrick says Argentina has 'taken one look at Burnham and Streeting' and judged them weak. Nile Gardiner points to nuclear weapons and NATO's third-largest defence budget. Nobody in the UK threads argues the islands should change hands.
