The US president has labeled the UK prime minister “no Winston Churchill” after he refused to join the war on Iran
Ties within Western blocs are becoming increasingly strained, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has admitted, after he sparred with US President Donald Trump over the Iran war on several occasions.
Starmer made the remarks at the European Political Community (EPC) summit in Yerevan, Armenia, on Monday, saying that “there is more tension in the alliances than there should be and it’s very important that we therefore face up to this as a group of countries together.”
While Starmer did not single out the reason for growing friction, the remarks come against the backdrop of a rapidly souring relationship with the White House. In early March, Trump declared that the US-UK “special relationship” was “obviously not what it was” and branded Starmer “no Winston Churchill” after London refused to join the US-led war on Iran.
