Argentina’s president Javier Milei has admitted that the Falkland Islands remain in the hands of the British as he boasted of his admiration for the “brilliant” Margaret Thatcher.

The right-wing populist, described as South America’s Donald Trump, went against previous leaders who historically insisted the Malvinas remained Argentine – but vowed to get the islands back through a “framework of peace”.
