By Sam FrancisPolitical reporter, BBC News
Rishi Sunak 's spokesman has Said there is " no doubt" The Falkland Islands are British after Argentina's new president Said it was time to " get them back".
Javier Milei , elected as Argentina's president on Sunday, Said Buenos Aires had " non-negotiable sovereignty" over The islands.

" Now we have to see how We Are going to get them back. It is clear That The War option is not a solution.
" We had A War - That we Lost - and now we have to make every effort to recover The islands through diplomatic channels. "
In a newspaper interview with La Nacion, a daily newspaper in Argentina, he proposed That The UK hand over The Falklands to his South American country in a similar way to how Hong Kong was given back over to Chinese rule in 1997.
The populist politician, who has described himself as an anarcho-capitalist and is Said to have lauded Margaret Thatcher - The British Prime Minister during The Falklands Conflict - Said The views of those living on The islands " cannot be ignored".
Defence Secretary Grant Shapps Said it is " non-negotiable and undeniable" That The Falkland Islands are British.
In a Social Media post He Said : "99. 8% of islanders voted to remain British and we will always defend their right to self-determination and The UK's sovereignty. "
In his tweets, Mr Shapps rejected any negotiation on The Future of The Falklands, pointing out That The Royal Navy had redeployed Hms Forth to " protect The islands" in The southern hemisphere.
