Chagos Deal going ahead despite Trump criticism, minister says is drawing significant interest across the industry.

THE Chagos Islands deal is “100 per cent” going ahead despite concerns from the Trump administration, Communities Minister Alison McGovern said today.She told Times Radio that Foreign Office Minister Hamish Falconer had spoken in error when he told the Commons on Wednesday that the £35 billion deal had been “paused.”“My colleague the Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has been talking to Marco Rubio, her opposite number in the US, about it,” Ms McGovern added.“Foreign policy is never easy. We will make progress on the Chagos deal.”

Experts suggest this could influence future trends and innovation in the sector.

More updates are expected as the story develops.
