President-elect Donald J. Trump is exploring options to “veto” the handover of the British Indian Ocean Territory, home to a substantial U.S. base, to Mauritius. Mike Waltz, recently announced as Trump’s National Security Adviser, lobbied the Biden-Harris government to oppose a handover of the Chagos islands that comprise the territory, arguing it could lead to the loss of its Diego Garcia base, much as the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan led to the loss of Bagram Air Base.

Starmer has seemingly asked for nothing in exchange and will, in fact, make payments to Mauritius to facilitate the transfer. However, the British will supposedly be authorized to continue exercising sovereign rights over Diego Garcia, guaranteeing the status of its British-American base.

Brexit leader Nigel Farage and others have warned China could be authorized to establish a base on another island in the Chagos Archipelago, badly undermining U.S. security even if control over Diego Garcia is retained. Consequently, President-elect Trump’s transition team is seeking legal advice on whether the transfer to Mauritius can be derailed.
“Trump has received a UK-sourced briefing on Chagos and has asked the presidential transition team to work with the Pentagon to get legal advice. He has expressed a stance in principle to object to the deal if elected on the advice of the Department of Defence based on their global security posture,” a transition team source told the British media.
