UK sticks to Falklands stance as leaked US memo stirs debate
Downing Street says the UK’s position on the Falklands is unchanging: sovereignty lies with Britain and the islanders have the right to self-determination. The leak of a Pentagon memo proposing the US reassess support for European sovereignty claims has not altered this stance, with ministers emphasizing a very strong UK-US security relationship and indicating no anticipated policy shift regarding the Falklands despite the memo’s angle amid broader tensions over Iran.
