Trump publicly criticises Keir Starmer for giving away one of the most important bases in the Indian Ocean, Diego Garcia, to China-influenced Mauritius. To top it all off, the UK will have to pay huge amounts in reparations for its colonial history. Trump has been silent about the importance of this island, which is vital for American power projection at sea and in the air.

It is shocking that our “brilliant” NATO ally, the UK, is currently planning to give away the island of Diego Garcia, which is the site of an important US military base, to Mauritius, and to do this WITHOUT ANY REASON AT ALL. There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this total weakness. These are international powers that only recognise STRENGTH, which is why the United States, under my leadership, is now, after just one year, respected as never before. The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is yet another argument in a long line of national security reasons why Greenland must be acquired. Denmark and its European allies must DO THE RIGHT THING. Thank you for your attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Starmer has criticised Trump’s Greenland announcement. Now Trump is hitting him dead centre. He’s not looking after the security of the US. Britain has stopped projecting power so far east.

Trump posted the message on Truth Social. There is a commentator who says that the next target should be the Falkland Islands. Then the US will have full control in both the Arctic and Antarctic. Trump may have a purpose in criticising Starmer. The underlying message is that Europe is weak and cannot protect areas that are far away.

Starmer is about to give away the most important base in the Indian Ocean: Diego Garcia
