UK halts Chagos payments, says deal needs US support after Trump refusal

UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting announced annual payments to Mauritius (at least £120m) are suspended while the government reviews the Chagos Islands deal, explicitly stating it cannot proceed without US support. This follows Donald Trump's refusal to back the agreement, marking a reversal of the UK's earlier commitment and introducing uncertainty over the future of the Diego Garcia base.
