Since the Falkland Islands ceased to be a European Union (EU) Community overseas territory after the Brexit, Argentina seeks more support from the bloc in the negotiation claim with the United Kingdom on the South Atlantic British territory.

The EU and South American economic bloc Mercosur have clinched a huge trade deal after 20 years of negotiations.

Argentinian foreign minister, Susana Malcorra, says government is closely following case of disputed islands but ‘it is still quite early’.

Argentina would exploit the fallout from a no-deal Brexit to further its efforts to bring the Falklands under its control, the country’s foreign minister has said.
