Trump rows back his criticism of UK’s Chagos Islands deal
Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to row back his previous criticism of the UK’s plan to transfer ownership of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, even as he said the US would retain the right to secure Diego Garcia militarily.
“I understand that the deal Prime Minister [Sir Keir] Starmer has made, according to many, the best he could make,” the US president wrote on his Truth Social platform, adding he had held “very productive discussions” with his British counterpart.
The comments mark a shift from last month, when Trump accused Britain of “great stupidity” and “weakness” over the deal to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands, including the joint US-UK military base of Diego Garcia, to Mauritius.
