UK Reviews Chagos Islands Deal After Trump Criticism

The UK is reviewing its Chagos Islands deal with Mauritius after US President Donald Trump called it "terrible." Defence Secretary Wes Streeting confirmed the review, citing lack of US support. The deal would cede sovereignty and lease back the Diego Garcia military base for 99 years at £3.4bn. No money will be paid to Mauritius during the review.
