Trump attacked Keir Starmer over the 99-year Diego Garcia/Chagos lease with Mauritius, warning the deal could compromise sovereignty and suggesting the United States might deploy the base to deter Iran; Washington had signaled backing, while the UK defends the agreement as securing long‑term security and decolonisation, with the cost to Britain around £3.4 billion.
