Donald Trump’s Pentagon officials are examining potential measures to penalize NATO countries that have declined to back the Iran conflict, with reports suggesting this includes a review of Britain’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.

[…] Britain fought a war against Argentina in 1982 to maintain control after Argentine forces invaded the islands. Argentina’s current president, Javier Milei, is among Trump’s closest international supporters.

    The British public might now side with Prince Harry who criticized Trump during his present visit to Ukraine. In contrast, King Charles is visiting Trump on Monday. I’m sure King Charles will cozy up to Trump.

      Trump is super easy to manipulate. Sending Charles to get free brown nose points, at no real cost to the UK, is the right thing to do.

        Charles is also retarded (it’s ok we can use that word now) and keeps pushing for the NHS to do homeopathy.

        A true meeting of geniuses, hopefully RFK’s brainworms aren’t hungry that week.

          Maybe Charles can offer him a knighthood. It would be pure comedy watching trump kneel and offer fealty to Charles. Trump would 100% do it too.

        No, it won’t work. Starmer threw a state banquet for Trump in order in get him to lower tariffs. It didn’t do anything.
