“What happened the other day was the greatest act of sovereignty in the last 40 years because, by creating a military base in Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego), it endorses our claim to Antarctica. It is the first step to start thinking about recovery Malvinas,” Milei said in an interview with the Neura web channel.
It is the first step to start thinking about the recovery of the Malvinas.
The installation of a United States base in the province of Tierra del Fuego, in the extreme south of Argentina, as a “gateway” to Antarctica, was announced last week, within the framework of the visit to Argentina of the General of the United States Southern Command, Laura Richardson.
Milei said that the Malvinas, the axis of a war between Argentina and the United Kingdom in 1982, must be recovered “through diplomatic means.”
“It's a long-term process”said the head of state.
On the other hand, he reiterated that the space base that China has in the Argentine province of Neuquén (southwest) and that the United States objects to for alleged military objectives “will be audited accordingly.”

“If the Chinese say there is nothing, what's the problem?” Milei asked.
In another part of the interview, which lasted about three hours, Milei confirmed that Argentina has purchased 24 F16 aircraft and reiterated that the United States and Israel are the countries with which his Government has decided to ally itself in matters of foreign policy.
In addition, he reiterated that the Argentine embassy in Israel will be moved to West Jerusalem.
