🇺🇸🇬🇧🇩🇬 - "The White House is considering a plan to buy the Chagos Islands, potentially sinking Sir Keir Starmer’s plan to cede the territory’s sovereignty to Mauritius.

US officials have drawn up a proposal to bypass Britain and make its own deal to take control of Diego Garcia, the strategically important UK-US military base, amid uncertainty about its future.

It is among several options drafted by Donald Trump’s administration in a paper aimed at providing alternatives to the Prime Minister’s plan, which would hand control of the islands to Mauritius, an ally of China and Iran.

The White House has been in regular discussions with Downing Street about securing the future of Diego Garcia." - The Telegraph.
