What is the UK's Chagos Islands deal and why has Trump labelled it great stupidity'?
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Donald Trump has called the UK government's plan to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius an act of great stupidity and a reason behind his desire to take over Greenland. In a scathing attack on Britain, the US president said there was no reason whatsoever for the deal to be struck, adding that it is another national security reason why Greenland must be acquired by his country."
A news outlet seeks donations to fund reporters on the ground, keep journalism free of paywalls, and report on multiple perspectives in developing stories. Coverage spans reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, including investigations into political PACs and a documentary highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donald Trump called the UK government's plan to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius 'an act of great stupidity' and said the deal provided another national security reason to acquire Greenland. He wrote on Truth Social that Denmark and its European allies 'have to DO THE RIGHT THING'. The transfer has passed the House of Lords and is in final parliamentary stages, and the US has publicly welcomed it.
