Trump ‘disappointed’ with UK premier for lack of support for Iran war

US President Donald Trump lashed out Tuesday at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for not supporting his war against Iran, calling it "a big mistake."

Asked if his opinion changed about Starmer, Trump told reporters at the White House, "Well, he hasn't been supportive. And I think it's a big mistake. You know, they make a lot of money on trade with the United States."

"I was disappointed, because Keir was willing to send two aircraft carriers after we won," said Trump, adding that he told the premier to send "a couple of mine sweepers. We don't need your aircraft carriers."

"Unfortunately, Keir is not Winston Churchill," he added.

Trump criticized Starmer's immigration and energy policies as a "disaster."

"You've allowed millions and millions and millions of people to come into your country, that shouldn't be there. And by the way, that's all over Europe," he added.
