Chagos Islands treaty is now ‘impossible to agree at political level’, UK minister says

UK Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty announced that a treaty to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius has become politically impossible to agree upon after the US withdrew its support, halting the corresponding bill's passage through parliament. The treaty would have allowed the UK to lease Diego Garcia for 99 years to maintain a joint military base.
