Trump Says It's "Sad to See" Deterioration of US-UK Relationship. U.S. President Donald Trump expressed disappointment that the once-close U.S.-UK relationship has changed, following Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s hesitance to support military strikes against Iran. Trump told the Sun newspaper that the relationship is "not what it was," citing stronger support from countries like France. Starmer initially held off on allowing British military bases to be used in the U.S.-led strike against Iran but later agreed to permit defensive strikes. Trump emphasized that the U.S. didn’t need British support in the Middle East but still criticized Starmer, saying, “he should have helped.” British minister Darren Jones countered Trump’s comments, highlighting that the U.K. had learned from the 2003 Iraq war and now prioritizes international alignment and clear legal grounds for military action. Starmer defended his decision in parliament, stating that his role was to assess what was in Britain’s national interest, and he stood by his judgment.
