Chagos File: Paul Bérenger Takes a Positive Yet Cautious Stance

"Positive... but cautious": these are the words of Paul Bérenger following the latest developments regarding the Chagos issue. In a phone interview with RadioPlus, the Deputy Prime Minister expressed his reserve. According to him, the matter will be discussed this Friday at the Cabinet meeting.

When also questioned about the legislative process surrounding the validation of the Chagos deal by the British Parliament, Paul Bérenger stated that he is awaiting further developments.

It is worth noting that Donald Trump indicated on Thursday, after a conversation with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, that he accepted the return of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius by the United Kingdom, while emphasizing that he would ensure the continued presence of American military forces in this Indian Ocean archipelago.
