Episode Details

British PM Keir Starmer withdraws Chagos Islands bill, following US President Trumps shifting stance on the matter. The plan aimed to transfer sovereignty to Mauritius while securing a long-term lease on Diego Garcia military base. Trumps flip-flopping on the issue led to criticism from Conservatives and Reform UK leaders, who view it as a victory against giving away British territory. The move comes after an International Court of Justice ruling and disputes over a UK-created marine protected area. Government officials emphasize the importance of securing the base long-term and are discussing next steps with the US and Mauritius.
