Argentina's Vice President has told residents of the Falkland Islands to 'go back to England,' escalating rhetoric in the long-standing sovereignty dispute. The comments come amid reports that the United States is reviewing its position on the islands' status. The Falklands, known as Las Malvinas in Argentina, have been under British control since 1833, and Argentina claims sovereignty. The UK maintains that the islanders have the right to self-determination and overwhelmingly chose to remain British in a 2013 referendum.
