Today’s Secure Freedom Minute with Frank Gaffney: Europeans have been sharply critical of President Trump for his insistence that U.S. security requires actual ownership of Greenland. Formerly Great Britain is, however, giving everyone an object lesson on why that’s so.
The UK’s hard-left Prime Minister Keir Starmer is currently in Beijing negotiating a new “strategic partnership” with Communist China. Simultaneously, he’s seeking parliamentary approval to surrender British sovereignty over – and, inevitably, U.S. use of – Diego Garcia, a strategically vital base in the Indian Ocean.
The Chinese would be the principal beneficiary of such a betrayal, and probably ultimately the inheritors of that base, as they were Afghanistan’s Bagram.
The President has rightly called Starmer’s sellout on Diego Garcia an act of “great stupidity.” He must now inform the Brits that the United States formally rejects the deal and will take ownership of the island if they relinquish it.
