Argentina's sovereignty claim over the Falkland Islands, which it calls Las Malvinas, is not new.
It has often been used as a rousing call by presidential candidates vying for voters.
But the heated, long-standing debate has been reignited by the leaked Pentagon memo.
And apparently emboldened by this, on Friday, Argentina's president, Javier Mele, an ally of Donald Trump, posted on social media in capital letters that the islands were, are and always would be Argentine.
His foreign minister said Argentina wanted to restart negotiations with the UK, something London does not want to engage with.
It says the territory's sovereignty rests with the UK.
It is estimated that half of gang members are children, compounding Haiti's status as one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a child. Representatives at the UN Security Council meeting emphasized the need to protect young people amid Haiti's humanitarian, economic and security crisis. The emergency meeting also spotlighted a multinational gang suppression force, which will be deployed in phases in the coming months to replace the Kenyan-led multinational security force.
Although representatives stressed that fragile progress had been made, the new force is heavily anticipated to help Haitian authorities regain control and create conditions for longer term stability and elections this year. Haiti's acting prime minister, Alix Didier Fils-Amer, addressed the meeting, saying it was time to come together for the state to retake its rightful place and that Haiti would not perish.
Since gang warfare erupted in 2021, nearly 1.5 million people have been displaced by the violence, half of them children. Thousands have been killed alongside widespread reports of sexual assault, kidnapping and extortion.

So according to the US military, they say their intelligence services had confirmed that these three boats in the eastern Pacific were carrying narcotics.
But just like all the previous strikes we've seen, more than 20 now, they didn't provide any evidence of this.
Only a video of the explosions posted online on X. And this is now the latest attack.
Since September, we've seen more than 90
People killed in strikes in both the Caribbean and also now the East Pacific.
Now, the East Pacific is more of a common trade route for drugs travelling from South America to the US.
And we're seeing increasingly strikes happening there as well.
So these attacks are part of what the Trump administration has described as an armed conflict against drug cartels.
It has designated as terrorist organizations and it's part of its combating drug trafficking in the region.
But it does come at a time we're seeing a very large military buildup in the South Caribbean Sea.
