Today’s Secure Freedom Minute with Frank Gaffney: For over two centuries, Britain’s treacherous diplomacy earned it the nickname of “Perfidious Albion.”
Yesterday, President Trump subtly channeled that sentiment in a polite, but very firm, repudiation of Britain’s latest act of diplomatic subterfuge – namely, its gambit effectively to give away its right, and ours, to use a strategically critical Indian Ocean base called Diego Garcia.
Worse yet, Prime Minister Kier Starmer’s odious deal with the China-dominated nation of Mauritius would predictably result in our mortal enemy – the Chinese Communist Party taking over that vital asset.
Mr. Trump rightly told Starmer “DO NOT GIVE AWAY DIEGO GARCIA.” Given the Brit leader’s utter perfidiousness – and that of the State Department, which blessed the deal on Tuesday – the President better explicitly rule out any surrender of the rest of the Chagos archipelago, as well.
