Donald Trump declared that he is "very disappointed" with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for initially refusing to allow the use of Diego Garcia by American forces for attacks on Iran. In an interview, Trump emphasized that Starmer's refusal was unprecedented in the relations between the USA and Great Britain. Although Starmer later conceded, allowing access for "specific and limited defensive purposes," Trump felt it took too long to reach this decision.
Trump also criticized the Chagos agreement, through which Britain ceded ownership of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, stating that they should have fought to maintain control over the territory. In the context of attacks on Iran, Trump highlighted its responsibility for the violence in the region and suggested that Starmer should have allowed the use of Diego Garcia for security reasons. Trump also mentioned that military operations against Iran began earlier than anticipated, and the interim leaders of Iran are willing to discuss a ceasefire agreement.
