Do not give away Diego Garcia, Trump tells UK in fresh attack on Chagos deal
"I have been telling Prime Minister Keir Starmer, of the United Kingdom, that Leases are no good when it comes to Countries, and that he is making a big mistake by entering a 100 Year Lease..."
"The agreement we have reached is the only way to guarantee the long-term future of this vital military base,"
"We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the U.K., but they have to remain strong in the face of Wokeism, and other problems put before them."
President Donald Trump publicly urged the United Kingdom not to hand over Diego Garcia, calling a proposed 100-year lease a mistake and insisting the land should not be taken away. The UK Foreign Office defended the Chagos Islands agreement as crucial to the security of the UK and its allies and said the arrangement guarantees the long-term future of the military base. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has maintained the deal is necessary to protect continued operations of the joint UK-US base on Diego Garcia. Talks between the US and Mauritius are planned next week.
