Who owns the Falklands?
Both the UK and Argentina claim sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. The UK's claim is based on continuous administration since 1833 and the islanders' right to self-determination, as expressed in a 2013 referendum. Argentina bases its claim on historical inheritance from Spain and geographical proximity. This ongoing dispute is why Trump mentioned a potential conflict.
