US President Donald Trump criticized the UK’s proposed deal on the Chagos Islands. He said it would be a "big mistake" to hand over control of the islands. Trump posted on social media: "Prime Minister Starmer should not lose control, for any reason, of Diego Garcia, by entering a tenuous, at best, 100 Year Lease." He added, "This land should not be taken away from the U.K. and, if it is allowed to be, it..." Earlier, Trump called the agreement the "best" deal that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer could make. The deal involves turning over control of the Chagos Islands, including Diego Garcia, under a long lease. Trump’s warning highlights the tensions around the future of these strategic islands.
