因特朗普反对，英国宣布重新审视查戈斯群岛协议UK Reviews Chagos Islands Deal Following Opposition from Trump

在纽约联合国大会边会期间，美国总统特朗普与英国首相安迪·伯纳姆举行了两人的首次面对面会晤。特朗普在会谈中再次表达了对英毛查戈斯群岛协议的强烈反对，称这是一份“糟糕的协议”，并公开表示英国将会对其进行重新审视。特朗普此前曾批评该协议是英国的“彻底软弱之举”，并称其为盟友的污点。

During their first face-to-face meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, US President Donald Trump reiterated his strong opposition to the UK-Mauritius agreement over the Chagos Islands, calling it a "terrible deal" and stating that the British government would examine it again. Trump has been a consistent critic of the arrangement, having previously described the proposed handover of sovereignty as an "act of total weakness" and a blight on Britain.

面对美方的明确反对，伯纳姆在会后向媒体表示，自己继承了这一悬而未决的局面，必须寻求解决办法。他强调，保障迪戈加西亚基地的未来至关重要，这不仅关乎英国的安全利益，也关乎美国的安全利益。伯纳姆在赴纽约前曾与毛里求斯总理纳温·拉姆古兰通话，并重申将与美方合作寻求各方都能接受的方案。

Addressing broadcasters following the meeting, Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated that he had inherited the situation and that a resolution was needed. Burnham emphasized that safeguarding the future of the military base on Diego Garcia is critical for both British and American security interests. Prior to traveling to New York, Burnham also spoke with Mauritian Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam, reiterating his commitment to work alongside the United States to find an acceptable path forward.

英国国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷在接受媒体采访时明确表示，英国政府必须重新审查查戈斯群岛协议，因为该协议目前没有获得美国的支持。斯特里廷指出，特朗普在联合国的表态明确表明美方对现行草案的立场不会改变，因此英国必须与特朗普及其政府开展更多沟通，推动修改协议以达成美方能够接受的方案。这一表态被外界视作英方首次明确承认，若不作出实质性修改，该协议将无法推进。

UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting explicitly stated during a broadcast interview that Britain has no choice but to review the Chagos Islands deal because it lacks the support of the United States. Streeting noted that President Donald Trump's remarks provided absolute clarity that the US position on the agreement as currently drafted will not change, requiring London to conduct further work with the Trump administration to modify the text into an acceptable form. Streeting's statements marked an explicit acknowledgement by the British cabinet that the agreement cannot proceed without alterations.

斯特里廷进一步说明，英国当前的核心重点是为迪戈加西亚岛上的军事基地争取长期确定性。他提到，自鲍里斯·约翰逊以来的历任英国首相均认为，毛里求斯就1965年群岛分割问题发起的持续法律诉讼对该基地的安全构成了潜在风险。据英国政府内部人士透露，此次审查是一项非正式工作安排，并未设定具体的执行时间表，英方立场的核心始终是确保任何最终协议都必须得到美国政府的明确认可。

Streeting stated that the British government's primary focus is securing long-term certainty for the military installation on Diego Garcia, the archipelago's largest island. He noted that every British prime minister since Boris Johnson has held the view that an ongoing legal challenge from Mauritius—which contends it was unlawfully forced to surrender the islands in 1965 to obtain independence—poses risks to the security of the strategic facility. Government sources indicated that this review is not expected to operate as a formal process with a rigid timeframe, maintaining that securing American backing remains the vital prerequisite for any concluded arrangement.

该协议的根源可追溯至毛里求斯关于1965年群岛分离合法性的长期法律争议。毛里求斯一直主张，英国在1965年非法强迫其交出查戈斯群岛以换取国家独立。在前首相基尔·斯塔默任内，英国政府于2025年5月与毛里求斯正式签署协议，同意将群岛主权移交给毛里求斯，同时按99年租约租回迪戈加西亚军事基地。按照英国政府当时的测算，该租约的净总成本约为34亿英镑，平均每年支付1.01亿英镑（约合1.36亿美元）。

The agreement has its origins in a protracted legal dispute over the 1965 separation of the territory, with Mauritius contending it was unlawfully coerced into relinquishing the Chagos archipelago in exchange for national independence. Under former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, the British government signed an agreement with Mauritius in May 2025 to cede sovereignty of the islands while leasing back the strategic military base on Diego Garcia under a 99-year lease. According to initial UK government figures, the transaction involved a net overall cost of £3.4 billion, equating to an average annual lease payment of £101 million ($136 million).

尽管该协议在2025年5月完成签署，但将主权正式移交的最终法案尚未获得英国议会表决通过。2026年4月，由于特朗普撤回了美方的支持，整个批准程序被无限期暂停。该协议在英国国内也引发了激烈的财务与安全争议，反对者指出，在计入通货膨胀后，协议的实际支出可能高达350亿英镑，并担心该安排可能会为中国在印度洋建立战略存在提供潜在机会。

Although formally signed in May 2025, the final draft bill required to transfer sovereignty never passed the UK Parliament. The legislative ratification process was paused indefinitely in April 2026 after President Donald Trump withdrew US support. The deal also encountered sustained opposition domestically, with critics arguing that inflation-adjusted costs could escalate to £35 billion and warning that the geopolitical realignment risked allowing China to establish a presence across the Indian Ocean archipelago.

英国内阁确认重新审视该协议的决定在英国政界引发了反对党高层的强烈反应。英国保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺克公开敦促首相安迪·伯纳姆彻底放弃这项安排，要求政府“直接废除这个糟糕的协议”。巴德诺克及其党派此前多次批评该协议损害国家利益，认为向毛里求斯移交群岛主权并支付长期租金的做法在战略与财政上均不可行。

The British government's decision to review the Chagos Islands handover prompted immediate reactions across the UK political landscape. Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch directly challenged Prime Minister Andy Burnham over the accord, urging the government to "just scrap this terrible deal." Opposition figures in the Conservative Party have consistently argued that surrendering sovereignty over the British Indian Ocean Territory while committing to decades of lease payments undermines national interests and fails to deliver strategic value.

与此同时，英国改革党领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇对该协议面临的阻碍表示欢迎，直言“查戈斯协议已经彻底终结，谢天谢地”。在英国国内，反对派阵营除质疑高昂的财政支出外，始终对潜在的安全与地缘风险保持高度警惕，担忧主权移交可能为外部势力在该群岛建立据点留下空间，进而对印度洋关键海域的安全格局造成冲击。

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage also welcomed the breakdown and prospective revision of the agreement, stating, "The Chagos deal is dead. Thank God." Domestically, political critics have maintained pressure on the government beyond financial calculations, arguing that any alteration to sovereignty in the archipelago could create vulnerabilities and risk enabling hostile strategic expansion across vital sea lanes in the Indian Ocean.
