Britain’s agreement to hand Chagos Islands to Mauritius that are home to a strategic UK-American military base is on indefinite hold because US President Donald Trump's administration has withdrawn its support for the deal.
The British government acknowledged Saturday that legislation to ratify the agreement for the islands in the Indian Ocean has run out of time in Parliament.
It’s the latest fallout from souring relations between Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government and the Trump administration.
