UK responds to US Falklands review threat

The UK government has reaffirmed its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands following a US threat to review its stance. A spokesperson for Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated on Friday that sovereignty rests with Britain. The statement came after an internal Pentagon email suggested reviewing the US position as punishment for Britain's stance on the Iran war. This marks the UK's formal diplomatic response to the Trump administration's punitive proposal.
