An eyebrow-raising leak from a private Signal group chat involving Donald Trump’s inner circle is now raising serious questions closer to home, particularly for Labour leader Keir Starmer. The scandal, sparked by an accidental invite received by The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, has put Trump’s controversial foreign policy circle in the spotlight again, and one British defence expert believes Starmer should start creating some serious distance.
Inside the leaked chat, Trump’s allies were openly chatting about military strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen using casual banter and even emojis — but it didn’t stop there. The group also began badmouthing America’s supposed European allies, with one US minister describing the EU as a “pathetic freeloader.”
