Chagos deal on hold as Trump objects, UK officials say

UK officials believe the Chagos Islands agreement with Mauritius is frozen as long as Donald Trump opposes it, with no sign it can be adapted to satisfy him. The treaty would transfer sovereignty while leasing Diego Garcia to the UK and US for 99 years. Payments of at least £120m to Mauritius are on hold.
