It stated the cancellation occurred amid bilateral tensions stemming from the president's announcement of sanctions and judicial actions against oil companies operating in the Malvinas Islands. The report noted the archipelago has been under British administration since 1833, with Argentina claiming sovereignty. ### Right - Right-rated reports from Clarín, La Tercera, El Financiero, Interfax.ru, and El Universo all highlighted the suspension of President Javier Milei's trip to London due to heightened tensions over the Falkland Islands. Clarín provided the most extensive detail, noting the trip was planned for October 23 and 24 and that Milei intended to speak at Oxford University. This report also detailed the Argentine government's new policy towards the islands, including sanctions against oil companies like Navitas Petroleum and Rockhopper Exploration, and the potential construction of a naval base in Ushuaia. It also mentioned statements from UK politicians regarding the islands' sovereignty and defence budget. La Tercera and El Financiero's digests also mentioned the planned talk at Oxford University, with La Tercera adding that Milei was also scheduled to meet with businessmen. Interfax.ru stated the cancellation was due to complicated relations with London following sanctions and lawsuits against oil companies operating in the Malvinas Islands. El Universo's digest similarly pointed to sanctions and judicial denunciations against oil companies as the cause of bilateral tensions. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
