Trump escalates tensions with Britain over Iran conflict support. The US President stated Saturday that America does not need British military assistance, despite London considering deploying two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. Trump criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer for initially blocking US access to British bases for strikes on Iran, claiming this damaged their historically close alliance. The UK later permitted defensive operations from its bases but stopped short of authorizing offensive action. Trump vowed to remember Britain's reluctance to join the conflict, suggesting the US has already achieved its objectives without additional support. The diplomatic rift reflects broader tensions between the two nations, with Starmer previously opposing Trump's Greenland acquisition plans and criticizing his Afghanistan war comments.
