No signs Chagos deal can be adapted to suit Trump, UK officials believe
UK officials say the Chagos Archipelago agreement with Mauritius is unlikely to be adjusted to accommodate President Trump. They argue that without a shift in his stance, the deal will stall, leaving the status of the U.S. military base on Diego Garcia unchanged. The talks remain at a standstill as the U.S. president’s position is seen as a key obstacle.
