UK Pauses Chagos Deal After US Pushback Over Diego Garcia

Britain has halted a bill to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius after President Trump opposed the deal, saying the US would not back it; the plan would have Mauritius gain full sovereignty while the UK leased Diego Garcia for 99 years to preserve US military operations, a move tied to decades-long disputes over the archipelago and the rights of the Chagossians. The UK says it will only proceed with US support and continues to engage with both the US and Mauritius.
