What are the Falkland Islands?
The Falkland Islands are a remote archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean, claimed by both the UK and Argentina. The UK has administered them since 1833, but Argentina maintains a historical claim, referring to them as Las Malvinas. This long-standing dispute is what President Trump was referring to as a "potential disaster".
