The joint U.S.-UK base has been one of America’s most important military launchpads for decades.
Britain blocked the U.S. from using it when the war with Iran began.
Trump says it cost “3 or 4 days working out where we can land.”
Britain is also in the process of handing sovereignty of the island to Mauritius, raising serious questions about America’s long-term access to its only base in the Indian Ocean.
“The UK has been very, very uncooperative with that stupid island that they have,” Trump said.
