U.S. President Donald Trump said ‌he was reviewing the United States' position on the Falkland Islands, the ​remote British-ruled archipelago in ​the South Atlantic, Reuters writes.

"I always review every ⁠position. That's just one of ​many," Trump told reporters in ​the Oval Office when asked about the islands' sovereignty.

Trump did not signal if ​the review would change the ​United States' position on sovereignty, which has ‌generally ⁠avoided taking sides since 1982.

Argentina, led by Trump-ally Javier Milei, has also claimed sovereignty over ​the islands.

​A potential ⁠U.S. shift was included among a range of options ​considered by the Pentagon ​earlier ⁠this year to pressure NATO allies it believes failed to support ⁠U.S. ​military operations in the ​war with Iran.
