TL;DR

Donald Trump condemned Keir Starmer’s plan to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius while renewing a 99-year UK-US lease on Diego Garcia, arguing the base could be needed to counter Iran; the sovereignty dispute stems from decades of displacement of Chagossians and international rulings, with the UK insisting the arrangement is essential for security.
