Hello fellow gist lovers! Wetin dey happen for this obodo London wey dem dey call UK no be small o. You sabi say Trump don begin yarn new language about the Chagos Islands matter? E be like say dem don change their mind on wetin dem talk before.
As e stand dey now, Trump wey be the US president come accuse Britain of ‘great stupidity’. Him talk say as the UK plan to return Chagos Islands to Mauritius, na total foolishness be dat! He dey vex say dem wan carry land wey dey hold US military base go give dem.
E tell us say dis na another level of weakness wey China and Russia go notice. E no too long ago when Trump self yarn say the agreement about the base for Diego Garcia dey important for security. Wetin happen for the agreement? Naim be say UK go dey pay £9 billion over 99 years just to keep that base running.
For the gist wey dey run for social media, Trump come add say na this kind action wey dey show say ‘Denmark and European allies must do the right thing’. Abeg! E be like say Trump need more friends for that side sha.
As Trump dey attack Starmer matter, we see say Keir Starmer wey be the PM don dey try maintain peace. Him don talk say ‘Britain is a pragmatic country: we look for agreement, we believe in partnership.’ No wahala, abeg! Peace na the way forward na, but e no mean say everybody go just dey misbehave.
Opposition plenty for UK, and dem dey talk say Starmer no dey package Trump well. Kemi Badenoch, di Tory leader don come out to say Trump correct for this one, say to handover Chagos na total self-sabotage. Hmmm, wahala dey six ways!
Some former leaders like Tim Farron go dey call all dis Trump drama silly nonsense, dey advise I-no-say-watch-yo-back strategy for dealing with all dis American shenanigans. You dey feel am?
As dis matter dey develop, e don look like UK go need better diplomatic waka, make dem fit secure dia base and still carry dem neighbours along. Wetin we fit learn for dis, my people? Diplomacy no be to just argue, na to understand and manage plenty egos, especially when e come to Trump officiating for front.
So as dem dey face all dis hot air, make we dey ready. Na so e be! Let’s hope say Starmer’s strategy go waka well, and dem no go dey give us unnecessary tension as 2026 don dey come! Cheers!
