Trump criticizes UK's Chagos Islands deal, calls it stupid

Donald Trump criticized a deal between the United Kingdom and Mauritius regarding the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands. He called the agreement an 'act of great stupidity' and suggested it showed weakness to countries like China and Russia.

Trump linked the criticism to his own past interest in the United States purchasing Greenland from Denmark. He argued the UK's actions justified his own territorial demands. The UK government responded by stating it would 'never compromise' on national security, defending the deal.
