President Trump Threatens Military Action to Secure Diego Garcia Amid UK-Mauritius Treaty
President Trump has issued a warning that the U.S. may take military action to secure its presence at the Diego Garcia military base if future agreements threaten its strategic operations. This follows a treaty between the UK and Mauritius granting Mauritius sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago, where Diego Garcia is located. Trump emphasized the base's critical role in U.S. national security and global military operations, citing its strategic location in the Indian Ocean. The treaty allows the UK to operate the base under a 99-year lease, with an option to extend. However, Trump has expressed concerns about the long-term implications of this arrangement, particularly regarding potential strategic threats from rivals like China and Russia.
