News Official statement Approved/passed
  • Argentina’s government published Decree 868/2026, modifying the application of Law 26.659 to tighten sanctions on companies involved in hydrocarbon activities in maritime areas disputed with the United Kingdom.
  • The decree does not incorporate all the measures President Javier Milei announced in a national broadcast.

The government published President Javier Milei’s decree seeking tougher sanctions against companies that exploit oil in the Falkland Islands.

Decree 868/2026 ratifies the measure and introduces changes to how Law 26.659 will be applied. It targets companies connected to hydrocarbon activities in maritime areas claimed by Argentina and disputed with the United Kingdom.

The decree does not include every announcement Milei made during his national address. The measure therefore confirms only part of the package presented by the president.
