英国国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷宣布，英国向毛里求斯承诺的支付款已暂停1。这一决定源于美国总统唐纳德·特朗普拒绝支持英国与毛里求斯就查戈斯群岛主权移交达成的协议1。斯特里廷表示，"这笔交易目前的构成方式无法在没有美国支持的情况下推进"1。
根据2024年签署的条约，英国原计划向毛里求斯移交查戈斯群岛的主权，同时保留对联合军事基地迪戈加西亚99年的租赁权1。按照协议框架，英国承诺在第1至3年向毛里求斯支付共计1.65亿英镑，之后每年支付1.2亿英镑1。特朗普在联合国大会期间将该协议称为"糟糕的交易"，并表示不支持1。
英国政府正寻求重新谈判该协议，以获得美国和毛里求斯的共同同意，从而保护英美联合军事基地的长期运作1。2019年国际法院曾做出裁定，为毛里求斯采取进一步法律行动提示了可能性1。
Britain has suspended promised payments to Mauritius following US opposition to a sovereignty agreement over the Chagos Islands. Defence Secretary Wes Streeting announced that annual transfers of £120 million, part of a broader financial commitment, have been halted because Donald Trump has refused to support the UK-Mauritius deal.1 Streeting stated that "the deal as currently constructed cannot go ahead without US support," signaling that Britain intends to renegotiate the arrangement to secure approval from both Washington and Port Louis while protecting long-term operations at the joint military base Diego Garcia.1
Under a treaty signed in 2024, Britain agreed to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius while retaining a 99-year lease over Diego Garcia, which hosts a crucial US-UK military installation.1 The financial package had committed £165 million over the first three years, followed by annual payments of £120 million from year four onward.1 Trump characterized the agreement as "a bad deal" during remarks at the United Nations General Assembly, publicly declining to endorse it.1 A 2019 International Court of Justice ruling suggests Mauritius may pursue additional legal action regarding the matter.1
