Javier Milei: "behind the back of the Argentine government"

Argentina’s government said it is bringing a criminal complaint against Israeli energy company Navitas Petroleum and its directors over the firm’s offshore oil work in the Falklands. Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno will file the case, alleging the company acted under British-issued licences in territory Argentina claims. President Javier Milei has tied the matter to global politics, warning that companies involved in such extraction could lose the ability to do business in Argentina. Navitas, whose shares trade in Tel Aviv, leads the Sea Lion development. The announcement followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s comment that he reviews all positions, which Milei described as a warning; British officials responded that the islanders’ wishes determine sovereignty. Washington officially remains neutral but recognizes Britain’s administration in practice.
