The UK should consider expelling the US from British military bases, the leader of the Green party has said, as he advocated leaving Nato and spending less on American weapons as part of a wider dismantling of the two countries’ defence alliance. “But then we can talk about Donald Trump’s complicity or active enabling of [Benjamin] Netanyahu and the genocide in Gaza. “Donald Trump has so much domination within Nato that I don’t believe it’s possible to reform Nato from within,” he said. “We need to make sure that the people we are reliant on are reliable allies, and Donald Trump is certainly not that,” he said. But the point is, if you allow people to hoard assets, that removes other assets for other people.”
