Donald Trump suggested that the United States could reconsider its support for British sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, a position that would align more closely with Argentina’s longstanding claim.

Asked about the issue by reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said, “I always review all positions. That is just one among many.”
