Donald Trump criticized Britain's settlement of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean on Wednesday - and went directly against his own State Department's statements hours earlier.
Citing sources, The Times writes that Trump's statement came after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer refused to allow the United States to use British bases for aircraft that would participate in possible attacks on Iran.
The US attack plan states that it includes the use of two British bases. However, according to previous agreements between the US and the UK, the US can use the bases only in attacks that both governments have approved in advance.
