US President Donald Trump has expressed his support for Britain's plan to hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. The UK is currently in discussions with Mauritius regarding the transfer of the Indian Ocean territory, with the exception of Diego Garcia, which houses a US military base.
During a joint appearance with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House, Trump stated, 'We're going to have some discussions about that very soon, and I have a feeling it's going to work out well.' He also mentioned the possibility of a long-term lease agreement lasting around 140 years.
