Donald Trump tells Keir Starmer the US ‘doesn’t need British aircraft carriers for war we’ve already won’ in extraordinary attack on Prime Minister
Donald Trump has told Sir Keir Starmer that the US does not need Britain to send its aircraft carriers to the Middle East.
The US President accused the UK of ‘finally giving serious thought’ but appeared to decline the offer in an extraordinary attack on the Prime Minister.
‘That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer,’ Trump said in a post on Truth Social. ‘We don’t need people that join wars after we’ve already won!’
The president’s fiery post comes after it emerged the UK was preparing to deploy HMS Prince of Wales to the Middle East as the conflict with Iran intensifies and criticism mounts over Britain’s military response.
