AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoChagos Islands: Britain is set to revisit its deal to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos archipelago to Mauritius after US President Donald Trump again called it “terrible”, with Defence Secretary Wes Streeting saying the pact “can’t go ahead” without American support and that Mauritius-bound payments are paused “at this stage”. UK–Mauritius dispute: The proposed arrangement keeps the Diego Garcia UK-US military base under a 99-year lease, but US backing is now the sticking point, leaving the treaty’s parliamentary steps and funding in limbo. Politics and pushback: The row has also sparked fresh criticism and debate around who can stand up for British overseas territories, as Trump’s stance continues to drive uncertainty over the timeline for any revised agreement. Regional finance: The AU plans to launch its Africa Credit Rating Agency (AfCRA) in Mauritius on 7 October 2026, aiming to challenge Western rating dominance and improve how African sovereign risk is assessed.
