据报道，在唐纳德·特朗普总统批评一项将战略要冲的查戈斯群岛主权移交毛里求斯的协议后，英国与美国就印度洋查戈斯群岛的未来举行的谈判已重新开启。
英国首相基尔·斯塔默（Keir Starmer）周三证实，在特朗普总统抨击该协议并将其斥为“极其愚蠢的行为”后，英国已重新开始谈判，英国GB新闻（GB News）报道。
“令人震惊的是，我们‘杰出’的北约盟友英国，目前正计划将美国重要军事基地所在地迭戈加西亚岛（Diego Garcia）移交毛里求斯，而且毫无理由，”特朗普在Truth Social上发文称，“毫无疑问，大家注意到了这种完全软弱的行为。”
他补充道：“英国交出极为重要的土地是‘极大愚蠢’的行为，这也是格陵兰必须被收购的众多原因之一。”

查戈斯群岛在英国非殖民化过程中从毛里求斯分离出来，国际法院2019年裁定此举非法。
英国随后同意移交主权，但将迭戈加西亚岛租回至少99年，年租金至少1.6亿美元。
迭戈加西亚岛是远程轰炸机、后勤和跨中东、印度洋-太平洋和非洲力量投送的枢纽。
约2500名军事和文职人员（大多为美国人）驻扎在那里。该基地是美国的关键行动点，在情报收集和军事通信安全方面发挥核心作用。
据英国《金融时报》报道，斯塔默在飞往中国的航班上表示，他“曾多次与唐纳德·特朗普讨论查戈斯群岛问题”，但拒绝证实周日两位领导人通话期间是否提及此事。

斯塔默还表示，该问题“在上周末和本周初已被提交给白宫”。
斯塔默补充称，特朗普政府上台时，英国暂停协议三个月，以让美国有时间在机构层面评估该协议。
“一旦他们完成评估，就明确宣布支持该协议，并且发布了相关声明，”他说。
唐宁街发言人也向GB新闻证实，伦敦正致力于“缓解华盛顿的任何关切”。
“我们将继续就这一重要问题与美国接触，以及该协议对确保英美利益的重要性，以缓解任何担忧，这是我们在整个过程中都在做的，”发言人表示。
特朗普对查戈斯协议的评论受到“改革英国”党领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）的欢迎，法拉奇在X平台（原推特）上写道：“谢天谢地，特朗普否决了交出查戈斯群岛的决定。”

UK reopens Chagos Islands talks with US following Trump criticism of deal: reports
Starmer says discussions with Washington resumed after president’s social media post panned plan to hand Diego Garcia sovereignty to Mauritius

Talks between the U.K. and the U.S. over the future of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean have reportedly reopened after President Donald Trump’s comments cast doubt over an agreement that would see Britain hand sovereignty of the strategically vital archipelago to Mauritius.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed Wednesday that the U.K. had reopened discussions after the president had panned the deal and branded it an “act of great stupidity,” GB News reported.
“Shockingly, our ‘brilliant’ NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER,” Trump had posted on Truth Social. “There is no doubt that noticed this act of total weakness.”
He added: “The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of why Greenland has to be acquired.”

The Chagos Islands were separated from Mauritius during Britain’s decolonization process, a move the International Court of Justice ruled unlawful in 2019.
The U.K. later agreed to transfer sovereignty while leasing Diego Garcia back for at least 99 years at a cost of at least $160 million annually.
Diego Garcia is a hub for long-range bombers, logistics and power projection across the Middle East, the Indo-Pacific and Africa.
Around 2,500 military and civilian personnel, mostly American, are stationed there. The base serves as a critical operation point for the U.S. and plays a central role in intelligence gathering and securing military communications.
Speaking aboard a flight to China, Starmer said he had “discussed Chagos with Donald Trump a number of times,” but declined to confirm whether the issue had been raised during a phone call between the two leaders on Sunday, The Financial Times reported.

Starmer also said the matter “has been raised with the White House at the tail end of last week, over the weekend and into the early part of this week.”
Starmer also added that when the Trump administration took office, the U.K. paused the agreement for three months to allow the U.S. time to assess the deal at the agency level.
“Once they’d done that, they were very clear in the pronouncements about the fact that they supported the deal, and there were announcements made,” he said.
A Downing Street spokesperson also confirmed London was working to “allay any concerns” in Washington, according to GB News.

“We will continue to engage with the U.S. on this important matter and the importance of the deal to secure U.S. and U.K. interests and allay any concerns, as we’ve done throughout the process,” the spokesperson said.
Trump’s comments on the Chagos deal had been welcomed by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who wrote on X: “Thank goodness Trump has vetoed the surrender of the Chagos islands.”
