Trump warns of potential disaster over Malvinas conflict

In a recent press conference, US President Donald Trump expressed concern about rising tensions between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the Malvinas Islands. He described a potential conflict as a disaster and suggested he could help resolve it if called upon. The Argentine government has begun legal actions against British oil companies operating in the region, while the UK insists on its sovereignty over the islands, which has been a contentious issue since the British occupation in 1833.
