Trump blasts UK plan to hand Chagos Islands to Mauritius
Britain defends its deal to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, with Diego Garcia leased back to the U.S. for 99 years, a move welcomed by the United States but denounced by Trump as a display of weakness; the plan faces domestic opposition and heightened security concerns for displaced Chagossians, while UN/ICJ pressure to return the islands remains.
