Well, Diego Garcia is a military base that is in the Indian Ocean, and it has a prime

location to project power throughout the Middle East and throughout much of Asia.

It is a base of the United Kingdom, a British base, but they share it with the United States,

so we both have access and use it.

I will tell you, by the way, I've been very active concerning Diego Garcia because, unfortunately,

Keir Starmer, the very left-wing Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is talking about entering

into an agreement to give Diego Garcia, to give the Chagos Islands, the Chagos Islands

are a series of islands in the Indian Ocean, give them to Mauritius, a country that is

very close to China, and give them the ability to significantly limit our ability to use

Diego Garcia.

I've laid out that that is a direct violation of the treaty the United Kingdom has with

the United States.
