Pentagon officials are considering withdrawing US support for British sovereignty over the Falklands as leverage to push Andy Burnham toward Nato’s 5 per cent defence spending target. An anonymous senior US official said Britain would get “special attention” in Washington’s review of allies and that Starmer’s June defence plan fell short, adding that nothing was ruled out. The US is formally neutral on the Falklands; a leaked April memo first raised the idea, which Rubio dismissed, but the Telegraph says the discussion is ongoing.

        I would hate another war with Argentina, however time has moved on it wouldn’t be a full invasion. It would be a strategic strike with a few dozen missiles.
