The US President is considering the possibility of buying the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, The Telegraph reports, citing sources. According to the publication, he discussed the idea of buying the islands with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Chagos remains a subject of dispute between the UK and Mauritius. London has controlled the archipelago since colonial times, but Mauritius seeks its return and considers the islands its territory.

The archipelago has strategic importance: the largest island, Diego Garcia, hosts a key US and UK military base. Britain and Mauritius have agreed on a deal to transfer sovereignty over Chagos to Mauritius, but with the retention of a military presence on Diego Garcia under a long-term lease.

    Ваша беда, мистер Дак, что вы слишком много задумываетесь. Бросьте, не ваше это - думать.

    Спачатку Лондан аддае выспы і плаціць грошы "за каланіяльнае мінулае".

    А потым краіна, якая аніякага дачынення да гэтых выспаў, акрамя як аднаго ж на рэгіён былога брытанскага генерал-губернатара, не мае, атрымае яшчэ грошы ад ЗША! Каб там заставалася тая самая база, што была там 70 год.

    Great deal!
