Nigel Farage expressed that senior members of Donald Trump's incoming cabinet are "horrified" at Sir Keir Starmer's plans to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. According to Farage, this deal is "totally unnecessary" and lacks a valid basis in international law, highlighting concerns over the UK’s capacity in international relations and preempting potential backlash from the US.
The UK Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated that they had no choice but to comply with the International Court of Justice ruling. This ruling mandates the handover of the islands, including Diego Garcia, home to a significant US and UK military airbase, bringing national security into focus and raising questions about diplomatic negotiations with the new American administration.
