Argentina pursuing policy of confrontation, says No 10
Quote:
Downing Street has accused Argentina of pursuing a "policy of confrontation" over the Falkland Islands.
It comes amid reports that top Argentine companies are being told by their government to stop importing goods from the UK.
PM David Cameron's spokesman said the move was "counterproductive" and was a misreading of British resolve over the disputed islands.

Mr Cameron's spokesman told reporters at a regular briefing in Westminster: "It is clearly very sad that Argentina continues with their policy of confrontation instead of co-operation.
"We think that is counterproductive and also a complete misreading of Britain's resolve on this issue.
"The UK is also a major investor in Argentina and we import goods from Argentina. It is not in Argentina's economic interest to put up barriers of this sort.
"The right approach here is one of co-operation, not confrontation," he added.
