Donald Trump has lambasted his relationship with Britain under Sir Keir Starmer, saying he is “very sad” to see it is “obviously not what it was”.
The prime minister granted permission on Sunday for the US to use UK bases to target Iran’s missile launchers and stores to help protect countries targeted by Tehran. But the US president said he was “very disappointed” with Sir Keir over his initial refusal to allow the US to use the UK-US Diego Garcia base on the Chagos Islands as part of the operation.
