Trump hints US would use force to secure Diego Garcia if access is threatened

Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that the United States could militarily secure the Diego Garcia base if a future deal or access is threatened, following what he called productive discussions with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
