Burnham promises Mauritius a Chagos Islands deal resolution
Prime Minister Andy Burnham admitted a deal over the Chagos Islands is not yet in place, but assured Mauritius he will work towards one. The UK government's plan to give up sovereignty for the Diego Garcia military base was paused in April due to pushback. Burnham held talks with Mauritian Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam on Monday, before meeting US President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
