YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donald Trump has slammed the UK's decision to hand the Chagos Island to Mauritius, which includes a formal transfer of Diego Garcia, home to a key US military base.

Speaking to Sky News, Shadow Business and Trade Secretary Andrew Griffith says it doesn't show strength "giving away British sovereign territories".

"It's been opposed from the conservatives right from the beginning," he says. "This is going damage British interest in the world."
