Trump criticizes UK for giving up control of the Chagos Islands

President Donald Trump criticized the United Kingdom's decision to hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. He called the deal an 'act of great stupidity' and used it as a justification for his past interest in the United States acquiring Greenland.

The UK defended its agreement with Mauritius, and a UK political leader, David Lammy, called Trump an 'international gangster' over his approach to Greenland. Mauritius stated that the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands is no longer up for debate.
