flag UK and US pledge to keep Diego Garcia base operational despite UK’s pledge to transfer Chagos Islands to Mauritius.

flag UK and US leaders have reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining the Diego Garcia military base amid tensions over the UK’s 2025 agreement to transfer Chagos Islands sovereignty to Mauritius. flag Despite Trump’s criticism calling the deal “great stupidity,” both nations agreed to cooperate closely to ensure the base’s continued operation, which supports regional security and military missions. flag The arrangement preserves UK and US control of the base under a long-term lease, with no immediate indication of US recognition of Mauritian sovereignty.
