Nigel Farage warns that the Chagos Islands deal could dangerously fracture the UK's relationship with the US and hinder future free trade agreements. The UK had previously reached an agreement on returning sovereignty over the islands to Mauritius, but the deal is being renegotiated. The presence of a joint UK-US military base on the largest island, Diego Garcia, has caused controversy in the UK. Farage emphasizes the importance of the base to the US and warns that surrendering sovereignty over the islands could reduce the UK's value in its relationship with America. The UK government is urged to give the American administration time to consider the deal.
