UK Defends Chagos Deal After Trump's "Stupidity" Attack
The UK government is defending its agreement to cede the Chagos Islands to Mauritius while leasing back Diego Garcia for a UK-US military base, despite criticism from former US President Trump who called the deal an act of "great stupidity" and a sign of weakness that could benefit China and Russia. UK officials maintain the agreement will not compromise national security and that the US continues to support the arrangement, which involves a £3.4 billion payment from the UK.
