US President Donald Trump intensified criticism of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer over London’s stance on the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran. Trump accused Starmer of blocking American forces from using British bases during the initial strikes and suggested the UK was now considering sending aircraft carriers only after the conflict had largely been decided. In a Truth Social post, Trump said the US did not need British support and warned that Washington would “remember” the lack of early backing from its ally. The remarks highlight growing tensions between the two traditional partners as Western governments respond differently to the escalating Middle East conflict. (PC: India Today)
