‌On Wednesday, the US President also renewed his threats to quit Nato, telling The Telegraph: "Oh yes, I would say [it’s] beyond reconsideration. But Mr Starmer said the UK was fully committed to Nato, saying: "[It's] the single most effective military alliance the world has ever seen." The Iran war shows the UK must move closer to the EU, the PM said, as the UK's refusal to join Mr Trump's war put the relationship with Washington under strain. The Iran war will have a profound impact on the UK for decades but the country is "well placed" to weather the storm, he said. Meanwhile, Rachel Reeves said she was "angry" at the US President over the conflict as she made clear it will have an impact on the UK economy.
