GEOPOLITICS | Trump Slams UK’s Chagos Islands Agreement

U.S. President Donald Trump has voiced strong opposition to the United Kingdom’s plan to hand over control of the Chagos Islands, calling the move a “serious error.” According to Bloomberg’s report on X, the criticism comes just weeks after Trump had earlier suggested the deal was the “right course” for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

The Chagos Islands, located in the Indian Ocean, remain a sensitive geopolitical issue due to their strategic importance and long-standing international dispute. London’s negotiations over the territory have reignited global debate, with analysts divided over the potential political and security consequences of the proposed transfer.$BTC
