Trump tells Starmer 'we don't need people that join wars after we've already won'

On his Truth Social page, Former President Donald Trump wrote `The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East` after reports Britain was preparing a carrier, he said he `doesn't need them any longer.`
Amid the Iran conflict, Starmer initially declined, then approved limited US use of UK bases including RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia, for defensive operations.
Crews of HMS Prince of Wales have been told they must be ready to leave Portsmouth in five days, while the Ministry of Defence has bolstered regional defences with Typhoons, F-35 jets, and 400 personnel in Cyprus.
Amid rising diplomatic strain between London and Washington, Trump criticised Starmer last week as `not Winston Churchill` and said he was `not happy with the UK`, accusing him of not acting soon enough.
The carrier remains under routine maintenance ahead of a planned deployment later this year, while thousands of protesters marched to the United States Embassy in London and Sir Tony Blair urged backing the White House on Friday.
