Britain pauses Chagos Islands deal after Trump's criticism, then Trump changes his position

Britain paused the ratification of a deal to hand over control of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean after Donald Trump criticized the plan. Trump later softened his criticism, and the U.S. government said it supports the deal.

Trump also met with former British Prime Minister Liz Truss, who posted a photo of their meeting. Separately, a man who burned a Quran in London may get asylum in the United States, and his case has drawn attention from the Trump administration.
