In a post on Truth Social, Donald J. Trump commented on the United Kingdom’s plan to transfer the Chagos Islands—home to the strategic base at Diego Garcia—to Mauritius. He said that if Iran refuses to reach an agreement, the United States may need to utilize facilities at Diego Garcia and the airfield at RAF Fairford to counter what he described as a potential threat from a “highly unstable and dangerous regime,” warning such a threat could target Britain and other allied nations.
