PM reasserts Falklands sovereignty

Theresa May has vowed to maintain Britain’s defence of the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, as she became the first Conservative Prime Minister to visit Argentina since the 1982 war.

Mrs May will hold one-onone talks with Argentine President Mauricio Macri at the G20 summit of major economies. The Falklands are expected to feature in their discussions, but are not expected to dominate talks which will focus on trade.

The Prime Minister also faces awkward encounters with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the wake the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and Russia’s Vladimir Putin following the Skripal poisoning.
