Warning on Falklands oil search
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Argentine Foreign Minister, Guido di Tella, protested to Britain yesterday for giving the green light to oil exploration within the Falkland Islands continental shelf, and said 'we have reached a point of disagreement', writes Elizabeth Nash.
'We will pursue legally anyone who extracts oil in the area. We will not allow exploration or exloitation,' Mr di Tella said in London. 'To allow seismic studies to go ahead without a clear knowledge of what happens afterwards . . . is an unnecessary exercise.' He had written letters of protest to the Government and to oil companies.
