The Telegraph reported on the US discussion of the possibility of buying the Chagos archipelago.

The United States is considering buying the Chagos Archipelago, which is home to the British-American Diego Garcia Air Force Base. This was reported on June 7 by The Telegraph newspaper.

"The White House is considering a plan to buy the Chagos Islands from Mauritius, potentially destroying [British Prime Minister] Keir Starmer's plan to transfer sovereignty to the territory," the material says.

The publication notes that US officials decided to bypass the UK and conduct their own deal to take control of a strategically important military base. In addition, the newspaper notes that this is just one of the scenarios proposed by the administration of US President Donald Trump. It is clarified that the search for an alternative to the Starmer plan is not a priority goal of Washington. The article also added that the White House is constantly discussing the security of the base.

Sky News reported on April 11 that Britain had suspended the transfer of the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius. The deal was withdrawn after US President Donald Trump called it an "act of great stupidity."

The Telegraph reported on January 23 that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer withdrew the bill on the transfer of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius due to disapproval from the United States. It was noted that, according to the bill, the United Kingdom would transfer the archipelago to Mauritius and lease the Diego Garcia military base.
