Trump and the Falkland Islands: A Message to NATO? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
by Ted Galen Carpenter | Sep 16, 2026 | 0 comments President Donald Trump may have discovered a new opportunity to provoke a NATO ally. Last year, the White House created a brouhaha with Denmark (and other European countries) by insisting that Copenhagen sell Greenland to the United States. This time, Washington’s agitation involves a chain of islands off the east coast of Argentina that Great Britain claims and administers.
