After US opposition, UK drops bill to hand Chagos Islands to Mauritius

TL;DR

UK drops bill to hand Chagos Islands to Mauritius after US opposition Sir Keir Starmer has shelved his Chagos Islands deal amid worsening relations with Donald Trump after the US failed to formally confirm its approval. Trump had urged Starmer to scrap the deal despite earlier expressing support for the treaty. In January the president called the plan an "act of total weakness".
