The future of the .io country code domain is under scrutiny following President Donald Trump’s discussions regarding the British Indian Ocean Territory. The United Kingdom has proposed transferring control of this territory to Mauritius, which includes the U.S. naval base at Diego Garcia.

The potential transfer could lead to the abolishment of the .io domain, which is linked to the territory. While technically, the domain might be phased out if the territory ceases to exist, experts have speculated that the .io domain could remain in use despite such changes.

As Trump meets with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the option to halt the handover to Mauritius is reportedly on the table, with mixed reports emerging about the likelihood of such an action. Some sources suggest Trump is leaning towards overturning the transfer due to advice received, while others indicate he might agree to the deal following his public remarks supporting it.

This pivotal decision could significantly affect the domain system and the broader implications of the territory’s sovereignty.
