Argentina's Milei targets companies drilling for oil in the Falkland Islands
Argentine President Javier Milei announced measures targeting companies involved in oil and gas activities in the British-controlled Falkland Islands, which Argentina claims as its own. The Sea Lion offshore project is operated by Tel Aviv-listed Navitas Petroleum and London-listed Rockhopper Exploration, both of which have Israeli investors. Milei's push has created tension with Israeli-linked investors despite Argentina's close diplomatic ties with Israel.
