Britain’s plan to transfer the Chagos Islands to Mauritius has hit a major roadblock after a sudden shift in Washington’s stance.

The move comes amid strategic concerns and signals from the US, raising fresh questions about geopolitics, military interests, and the future of the Indian Ocean territory.
