Donald Trump Launches His Fiercest Attack Yet On Keir Starmer Over UK Response To Iran War

Donald Trump has launched his fiercest attack yet on Keir Starmer over the UK’s response to the war in Iran.

The US president described Britain as “our once great ally” as he told the prime minister that America doesn’t need the two Royal Navy aircraft carriers due to be sent to the Gulf.

He added: “We will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won.”

Trump’s comments, in a post on Truth Social, are another shattering blow to the so-called “special relationship” between Britain and America.

The president said: “The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”

Trump has been furious with Starmer ever since he turned down his initial request for US jets to use British bases to launch bombing raids alongside the Israelis in Iran.

Starmer changed his mind las Sunday after Iran began bombing countries across the Gulf region, putting up to 300,000 British lives at risk.

Nevertheless, Trump repeatedly criticised the PM, and even mockingly pointing out that he was “not Winston Churchill” .

Starmer does not believe the US and Israeli bombing campaign is legal, or that Trump has a plan for what to do next.

Speaking on Thursday, the prime minister said: “Clearly it’s for the president to take decisions that he considers in the national interest, the right decisions for the US. I understand that, I respect that.

“But equally, it’s for me as the British prime minister to take decisions that I consider to be in the best interests of the United Kingdom. There’s nothing controversial about that.”
