British PM Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump held a call regarding the joint military base on Diego Garcia Island. Both sides emphasized the strategic importance of the base and agreed to continue close collaboration on its future operations.

📌 Background:

• Relations were tense after Trump reversed support for transferring the island’s sovereignty to Mauritius

• Diego Garcia, part of the Chagos Archipelago, remains a key strategic location ~2,000 miles off East Africa

• Original plan allowed UK to transfer control while maintaining base operations via annual fees

⚠️ Strategic moves in global military bases can ripple across geopolitics — worth watching for market sentiment and risk-on/off behavior.
