For Giorgia Meloni, the Ceuta crisis is not a problem. It is for Pedro Sánchez – and a serious one – but not for the Italian prime minister, who has clearly exaggerated the risk that a portion of the 8,000 immigrants still accumulating in the Spanish enclave – the vast majority of the more than 70,000 who stormed the Spanish border on July 30 and 31 immediately turned back – could end up reaching Italy.

Argentina has decided to place the Falkland Islands at the center of its foreign policy and on the international agenda thanks to the push given this week by Donald Trump. Just three days after the President of the United States said he was open to reconsidering his country’s neutral position regarding British sovereignty over the archipelago in the South Atlantic, the head of state of Argentina delivered a speech to the nation to reactivate its historic claim over the Falklands and to warn that it will not tolerate the United Kingdom continuing with its plans to exploit the underwater oil of the archipelago.
