**Recent reporting indicates the Trump administration is exploring options to secure long-term control of the Diego Garcia military base amid the stalled UK-Mauritius Chagos sovereignty agreement.** Trump has repeatedly criticized the proposed transfer of the British Indian Ocean Territory, labeling it an act of weakness that risks strategic interests in the Indian Ocean, and the UK has paused ratification legislation partly in response. White House officials have reportedly drafted alternatives, including a potential direct purchase from Mauritius to bypass the UK deal entirely. However, these remain internal options under consideration, with no formal proposal delivered and Mauritius confirming it has received none as of early June 2026. Traders assign a 77% probability to no announcement before 2027 because the idea is still at the preliminary stage, subject to diplomatic, legal, and budgetary hurdles involving multiple sovereign parties. Resolution would require concrete steps such as official negotiations, funding commitments, or a public statement—none of which have materialized despite the recent press attention. Upcoming developments in US-UK or US-Mauritius talks could shift sentiment, but current evidence points to continued deliberation rather than swift action.

Sovereignty is defined as the transfer of any of the Chagos Archipelago from either the United Kingdom or Mauritius to being under the formal governance or jurisdiction of the United States, either as a state, territory, or other classification within the US system. Basing rights, military leases, or access agreements alone do not constitute sovereignty transfer.
An official announcement made by the United States and either the United Kingdom or Mauritius that territory within the Chagos Archipelago will come under US sovereignty will qualify, even if the actual transfer of sovereignty is yet to occur or if such announcement is pending ratification, parliamentary approval, or other conditional legislative steps. Only announcements of official agreements or actions (e.g. executive order, signed legislation, etc.) will count - mere posts on Social Media will not.
The resolution source for this market will be official information from the governments of the US, United Kingdom, or Mauritius, however a consensus of credible reporting confirming that land on the Chagos Archipelago has come under U.S. sovereignty will also qualify.
