Donald Trump condemns Starmer's 'great stupidity' for giving away Chagos Islands in 'act of total weakness'

Donald Trump today accused Sir Keir Starmer of 'giving away' Diego Garcia to Mauritius 'for no reason whatsoever' in an 'act of great stupidity' that he believes justifies his demand to seize Greenland.

The US President said that 'there is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness' in the Chagos Islands.

Mr Trump used his anger over Diego Garcia to justify yet again why the United States should be handed Greenland, urging Denmark and his European allies to 'do the right thing'.

The US president is travelling to Davos for the World Economic Forum where he insists he will hold talks with European leaders about acquiring Greenland. Danish officials have decided skip the event in Switzerland this year.

Mr Trump said in a Truth Social post today: 'Shockingly, our "brilliant" NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER.

'The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired. Denmark and its European Allies have to DO THE RIGHT THING'.

It came after Sir Keir Starmer held a Downing Street press conference where he branded Donald Trump's trade war threats over Greenland 'completely wrong'.

The British Government signed a treaty back in May to return sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, which will also see Britain lease back the strategically important military base on Diego Garcia for £101million a year.

Trump said of the deal: 'There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness. These are International Powers who only recognize STRENGTH, which is why the United States of America, under my leadership, is now, after only one year, respected like never before.

'Thank you for your attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.'
