Argentina's Pacific-pact bid would make it a trade partner of the UK, raising a Falklands dilemma

Argentina's bid to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) raises questions about its sovereignty claim to the Falklands, as the UK—a CPTPP member—is also involved. This would mark the first major trade agreement since the 1982 war where Argentina and the UK share partner status outside traditional frameworks like the UN or WTO.
