Donald Trump has criticized Sir Keir Starmer regarding the controversial deal involving the Chagos Islands. The deal has raised concerns about the implications of transferring ownership of such strategically significant territory.

Trump, the former President of the United States, called the deal "an act of stupidity." He emphasized that giving up vital land by the UK reflects poorly on national security. "The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired," said Trump.

This statement highlights the growing tension around the UK's geopolitical decisions as the debate continues over the future of the Chagos Islands and their relevance to national interests. Voters are now being invited to weigh in on whether they agree with Trump's assessment by participating in a poll concerning the deal.
