Trump approves UK-Mauritius deal for Chagos islands
US President Donald Trump has approved the UK-Mauritius deal over the Chagos Islands, allowing Britain to transfer sovereignty while leasing Diego Garcia for a 99-year term. The deal is nearing finalisation after months of US discussions. Criticism surrounds the potential £18 billion cost and geopolitical implications. However, UK officials ensured no expense to US taxpayers.
