UK Protects Chagos Islands Deal Amidst Trump Criticism
London– The UK government is facing examination after former US Head of state Donald Trump publicly criticized its contract to deliver the Chagos Islands to Mauritius while leasing back Diego Garcia.
- Trump called the step “an act of fantastic stupidness” on social media sites.
- The UK government urges the United States still supports the bargain.
- A ₤ 3 4 billion arrangement was checked in May, maintaining UK-US military base control.
- The UK asserts the bargain secures the base for generations and shields it from enemies.
- Mauritius maintains the arrangement is valid, despite Trump’s remarks.
