The Obama Administration knifes Britain yet again over the Falklands
2012-06-02
In his talks with President Obama in March, David Cameron reportedly gained assurances from the White House that Washington would stop pressing for negotiations between London and Buenos Aires over the sovereignty of the Falklands. If such an assurance was given, it was surely worthless.
All Obama promises come with an expiration date.
As Mercosur Press (South Atlantic News Agency) has just reported, the State Department is once again calling for UK-Argentina negotiations, ahead of next week's Organisation of American States summit in Bolivia:

"Our policy is unchanged. We believe that this is a bilateral issue that needs to be worked out directly between Argentina and the United Kingdom. That's what we are encouraging both sides to do" said Acting Under Secretary for Press Affairs at the State Department Mike Hammer during an exchange with reporters on Twitter.

Likewise "we are encouraging Argentina and the UK to work this out peacefully, to work it out through negotiations".

This is basically a reiteration of Hillary Clinton's statement in Buenos Aires alongside Argentina's president Cristina Kirchner in March 2010:
