NEED TO KNOW: Trump Slams Starmer Over Iran War Support
- Donald Trump has once again blasted Keir Starmer over Britain’s response to the Iran war crisis.
- The US President slammed the PM for not acting fast enough in allowing American forces access to British bases to strike Iranian missile sites. Trump said he was “surprised” by the UK’s reluctance, stating: “They should have acted a lot faster.”
- The row centres on Britain’s refusal to let the US use British territory to launch strikes against Iranian positions targeting the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has been pushing allied nations to provide naval support to keep the crucial shipping route open.
- Last week, Trump branded Starmer’s response a “big mistake” and claimed the PM hasn’t been supportive enough. He accused Britain of not providing adequate military backing despite their strong trade relationship.
- The President also took a swipe at the trade deal he struck with the UK, suggesting it “probably wasn’t appreciated.” Trump revealed he’s spoken directly to Starmer about the matter.
- Despite the diplomatic tensions, Trump said he’s looking forward to meeting King Charles, who is expected to visit soon.
