Trump Flips Position to Attack UK’s Starmer Over Chagos Deal

President Donald Trump criticized UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s plans to return sovereignty of Diego Garcia — an island that houses a crucial military base — to Mauritius, reversing his previous support for the proposal in a further deterioration of transatlantic relations.

Trump cited the decision to justify his ambitions for the US to acquire Greenland, in a post on Truth Social early Tuesday morning.
