Trump: "If Iran decides not to reach an agreement, the United States could be forced to use Diego Garcia and the airfield located in Fairford to deter a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous regime.

Prime Minister Starmer should not relinquish control of Diego Garcia under any circumstances by signing a precarious lease, at best, for 100 years. This land must not be taken from the United Kingdom, and if allowed, it will be a plague upon our great ally. We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the United Kingdom, but they must stand firm against wokeism and other problems that may arise. DO NOT SURRENDER DIEGO GARCÍA."
