Chagos Islands: Sovereignty
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what formal response he has received from the US on the proposed treaty with Mauritius.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
We have received confirmation from the White House that the United States supports the UK proceeding with the deal. This follows a rigorous U.S. interagency process. We welcome the U.S. endorsement of the deal, as well as the President's recognition of the strength of the deal.
