UK to review Chagos Islands deal after Trump called it 'terrible'

The UK is reviewing its deal to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, according to Defence Secretary Wes Streeting. This reassessment follows US President Donald Trump's criticism of the deal, which he called 'terrible' at the UN General Assembly. The original agreement would see the UK cede sovereignty while paying around £101 million per year to lease a joint UK-US military base on the archipelago.
