UK Backs Away from Chagos Return to Mauritius After Trump Criticism

The new UK government under Andy Burnham has reversed course on returning the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius, citing repeated criticism from US President Donald Trump. This marks a significant policy reversal from the previous administration's agreement, potentially straining UK-Mauritius relations and affecting the Diego Garcia military base's status. The decision is not yet formalized, and the exact reasoning remains partially unclear.
