The tussle for the Chagos Islands continues. Keir Starmer, the nominally US aligned simpleton who engages in humiliation trips to Beijing, was on track to formally sign away the Chagos Islands to Mauritius in an act of self-hating anti-colonialism. Deal is ready and only needs parliamentary approval. Mauritius has a claim on the Chagos Islands. Mauritius is 2000km away bytheway, none of this makes sense in whatever way considered.
In comes Trump last week. Mis-named the archipelago, and called Mauritius' territorial claims fake. Also made it known that the US base at Diego Garcia, one of the most important vectors for US power projection in the Indian Ocean, would not be threatened and in case it would the US would reserve the right to unilaterally act to protect its interests. Latest development: Starmer is allegedly considering rugpulling the entire deal after DJT's call.
