In a series of developments in Argentina, President Javier Milei has made headlines with his assertive stance on the Falkland Islands and significant domestic policy changes. Milei has vowed to create a diplomatic "roadmap" for the United Kingdom to return the Falkland Islands to Argentina, emphasizing in his Veterans’ Day address that his government's claim over the islands is "real and sincere" and stating, "Esta vez, en mi gobierno, el reclamo por Malvinas es REAL Y SINCERO". This move has been announced amidst the backdrop of the anniversary of the Falkland War, stirring patriotic fervor in the country. Concurrently, Milei's administration has initiated a radical shake-up of the public sector, resulting in the layoff of up to 15,000 state employees, with the Argentina's State Workers Association registering up to 11,000 public sector layoffs over the past week. This decision has sparked massive protests across Buenos Aires and other cities, with thousands of former public employees mobilizing against the layoffs in a massive protest. Additionally, General Laura Richardson, head of the U.S. Southern Command, has arrived in Buenos Aires to meet with officials from Milei's administration to deepen cooperation in regional defense.
