Nigel Farage warns Trump over Chagos deal – 25 Jan 2026

On 25 January 2026, Nigel Farage, former UK Independence Party leader, announced in a GB News interview that Donald Trump would not "put up with" the British government's Chagos Islands deal. The Chagos Islands, a group of 30 inhabited islands in the Indian Ocean, remain a point of UK sovereignty and have been implicated by Labour’s Keir Starmer, the new Prime Minister, in proposals to transfer control to Mauritius. Trump, speaking from the United States, critiqued Starmer’s plan as an "act of great stupidity," echoing Farage’s warning that any legitimacy "won’t be tolerated." The confrontation highlighted the ongoing debate over colonial legacy and international law, with both leaders citing historic claims and political ramifications.
