UK reviews Chagos Islands deal after Trump calls it 'terrible'

UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting confirms a review of the Chagos Islands sovereignty deal, following US President Trump's criticism of the agreement as 'terrible' in a conversation with Andy Burnham. The review signals potential reversal or renegotiation of the deal, which involves transferring sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius while retaining the Diego Garcia base. The lack of US support is a significant geopolitical shift, as the deal was previously seen as a key UK-US security arrangement.
