FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Threats and heated rhetoric reached a crescendo when Argentine authorities on
Monday refused permission to two British cruise ships seeking to dock at
Ushuaia on the southern tip of Argentina, after visiting the Falklands.
Argentina’s Industry Minister Debora Giorgi the next day reportedly telephoned
senior officials of Argentine and multinational importing companies to urge
them to find alternatives to British products.
Britain raised concerns, and on Wednesday the European Union said it will take
“appropriate” steps to settle the trade controversy. It was unclear what
those steps would be.
Last year, Argentina exported goods worth $779 million (583 million euros) to
Britain, including soybeans, soy oil, corn and peanuts, and imported goods
worth $664 million including chemicals, pharmaceuticals and cars.
The windswept islands in the South Atlantic are controlled by London, but have
been claimed by Buenos Aires since 1833.
Tensions began building in 2010 when Britain authorized private companies to
explore for oil in Falklands waters, and have deepened with the recent
deployment of a British warship to the islands.
On April 2, 1982, soldiers under Argentina’s military junta invaded the
islands, prompting then-prime minister Margaret Thatcher to send ships to
re-take control.
The resulting 74-day war led to the rout of the Argentina, and the deaths of
649 of its troops. Three Falkland Islanders and 255 British troops were also
killed in the conflict.
