UK says it 'will never compromise on national security' after Trump calls Chagos deal 'act of great stupidity' – UK politics live

[Perfect]

Trump's tweet about the Chagos Islands deal is just another example of how diplomacy has become so... basic nowadays . I mean, can't he just keep his opinions to himself? The UK government is right to defend the deal, it's in their best interest and the whole thing is just a business arrangement . But yeah, Trump's tweet was pretty cringeworthy, even for him . Jones trying to downplay it is pretty funny though, like he's trying to hide the fact that they got roasted by Trump . And what's with Kemi Badenoch just doing her own thing? Shouldn't she be more careful with her words and actions considering the Conservative party's stance on certain issues ? Anyway, this whole drama is just a distraction from real issues we should be focusing on .

Trump's tweet is so extra! I mean, who does he think he is? Can't believe PM Starmer got roasted like that... Jones is trying to smooth things over but let's be real, it's a bit awkward right now . But hey, good on him for not getting into a full-blown diplomatic spat . And omg, Kemi Badenoch in south-west London? Can't wait to see what she's got planned! #TrumpTweets #ChagosIslands #UKUSRelations #DiplomacyMatters
