US President Donald Trump has criticised UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer over Britain’s response to the ongoing military campaign against Iran. Trump said that while the United Kingdom is now considering sending two aircraft carriers to the region, the US no longer needs British support to win the conflict. His remarks follow a disagreement between Washington and London over the use of British military bases for strikes on Iran. He added that US forces had already moved ahead with operations and no longer required British military assistance. Trump also said that the US does not need allies who join a war after victory has already been secured.
