Trump on the Chagos deal: “I don’t support it, I think it’s terrible.” Dead…
The full comment:
“I don’t support it. I think it’s terrible. It was a terrible deal. They [Mauritius] all of a sudden say they have ownership. Somebody has ownership that never showed up before after decades and centuries. I think it’s ridiculous.
No, we were talking about that, and [the islands are] strategically very important. Very important. You know, we had to send our b2 bombers…back home to Missouri, as opposed to flying for a short period of time.
It’s amazing how strategic it is, and I think the prime minister is going to be looking at it.”
Burnham replied: “Yes”…
Krishnan Guru-Murthy asked John Healey: “Just finally, I mean Andy Burnham has been very clear he wants Britain back in the European Union in his lifetime. Do you?”
The Chancellor replied: “I’m older than Andy Burnham. I don’t expect to see that.”
